Well, it is finally here, the first video entry in the Green Office Pledge Breakdown. It is riddled with inaccuracies, chock-full of foolishness, poorly framed and horrifyingly lit, but that didn’t seem to offend anyone when we released our first video press release, so what the hell.
Some notes to read before watching:
- We failed to address daylight/occupancy sensors. Basically, we left them out because this thing is too long as it is, and Chad had mentioned them in another post.
- I inexplicably add the word “building” to the Green Office Pledge. This was noticed but we were too busy to fix it. Sorry.
- The lighting is awful, but so is the cinematography, editing and graphic work. Imagine if the lighting was great. It would stick out like a sore thumb.
- We breezed over the CFL mercury thing. We know this is an issue, but currently feel the power-savings justify CFLs. We will happily hear complaints, advice and alternatives in the comments, but be nice . . . we’re sensitive.
Alright, enough prologue. Here’s GOPB Part 6.

special effects! You guys are getting fancy.
We put several CFLs in service in our house in 1992 and they are still going strong. I think the light quality objection is a thing of the past. Anybody who feels that way does not have experience with contemporary fluorescent lamps.
1992 huh? Wow, that is a long light bulb life. So according to Chad’s advice you should be moving soon. Hmm, maybe I should actually do a post on how to properly dispose of the things.
