Let's face it- it's in to be green and there are so many ways to participate. Walking, public transportation, recycling, cleaning products, organic food, recycled products, sustainable goods...the list goes on and on. I recently found these stylish outdoor pots, made from corn husks.
The Vatican has even weighed in on greening the planet.
A green home is one thing but a green workplace may be more difficult to find. Or create. You see, at home, I only have five people to motivate towards recycling. At work, forty-five. More difficult yes, but the impact of forty-five could be tremendous. Plus, that's nine times the amount of paper that could be reused as something else. Nine times the amount of electricity...nine times the impact.
