Ditch the Hitchhiking and Share a Ride

While walking or riding a bike to the office is a good thing for the environment and your body, it's not often feasible. The next best thing is to carpool. Fewer cars on the roads mean fewer carbons polluting the air.

Don't have a co-worker you're willing to share a ride with? Find a ride-pal over at eRideShare.com, a free service connecting commuters.

What's the VISIT FLORIDA office doing? VFg3's research indicated nearly 50% of the staff said they'd carpool to work. During Green Launch Week in January, a groovy carpool ride board was posted in the employee break room with high expectations. Sadly, no one has connected.

On the plus side, the Green Team committee, which evolved from the VFg3 project, will evaluate this and other issues in converting the VF offices to more environmentally responsible workplace.

Personally, I'd like to see the proposal of a 4-day work-week considered. Four days in the office means fewer cars on the road and reduced energy consumption in the office. Wonder how that proposition will go over...

Pepsi's Gone Green Along with All Laundry Detergent, Who'll Be Next?

Mainstream America seems to be catching up to the going green concept and in my inbox this morning, had an email from the Pepsi Cola Company touting its efforts to go green. Also in the email was mention of All Small and Mighty Laundry Detergent going green, too.

Both have green Web sites with fun, interactive components to help consumers go green.

Wondering when I'll receive an email from the Coca Cola Company learning about their green efforts.
