Green Scale

今天收到公司的信, 这个决心大吧.

I am pleased to announce starting Monday April 6th we are ready to roll out our new Green Initiatives for the remainder of 2009. The success and positive feedback on the water bottle program caused us to seriously look at a series of things and we appreciate our employees’ dedication to making #### a greener place to work.

1. Starting Monday April 6th, we will no longer run HVAC to the floors after 5 pm. This will significantly reduce our power consumption.

2. During the sunniest days we will turn off all light to the floors from 10am – 4pm. We have an abundance of natural light that will make it easy for anyone to work comfortably.

3. We will be eliminating all snacks and beverages that are not produced from a carbon neutral or sustainably harvested company. Many of the brand name snacks and beverages you consume daily will have to be replaced, but we will be replacing them with much healthier options. You can now look forward to fresh local produce, Soy Bars, Granola and Fresh Milk from Hudson Farms.

4. We will be expanding the concierge program so now anyone can now call to find out if a local restaurant or business that is carbon neutral; our receptionists have a list and we encourage you to only pursue only carbon neutral establishments.

5. We will be suspending our dry cleaning service until we find a carbon neutral vendor. (I am still looking and are open to suggestions if anyone knows of one)

6. Starting in May, parking will only be provided for those that can demonstrate they are carpooling or have a hybrid vehicle. We will be adding additional bike racks in the garage in hopes that everyone will pedal into work rather than pollute.

This is just the tip of the Green Scale. I hope that you are all open to traveling down this road with us and as always your suggestions, comments and concerns are welcomed with open arms. Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime and I will be happy to address them head on.

可是, 是不是那些味道好的, 我喜欢吃的都会失踪了呢..哭...
