GOPB Part 5 – The Patient Computer

July 29, 2008

Promise 5 – I pledge to adjust the settings on my computer so that it automatically goes into standby mode when it is inactive for 30 minutes. The standby setting on your computer is a beautiful thing. It automatically shifts the machine into a low power mode whenever you leave it alone long enough. In [...]

GOPB Part 4 – Lights Out

July 22, 2008

I pledge to turn off my lights whenever I leave my office for extended periods (15 minutes or longer) and ask my employees to do the same. This one doesn’t seem to need much in the way of exposition. I mean, generally it is common sense, right? I know as a kid this was a [...]

Look at This – Episode 13

July 16, 2008

I am away on vacation if by vacation we mean trying to work in an unknown town with limited internet resources and sporadic phone service. Yes, I know. Vacation and work are not meant to be intertwined, but alas, the startup life is one that intertwines work with virtually everything. Fortunately, this “work”, justifies my [...]

GOPB Part 3 – The Thermostat

July 16, 2008

I pledge to regulate the thermostat to minimize energy use during unoccupied periods. I’ll be honest. I don’t even know where the thermostat is in the office. I know . . . I’m a terrible green office advocate (but a great rock-paper-scissors player). Even if I did know where the thermostat was it is unlikely [...]

GOPB Part 2 – Green Renovations

July 9, 2008

Promise 2: I pledge to make any office renovation a green renovation. This promise should be easier to keep than most of the others on the list as it is something that probably doesn’t come up every day or even every week. Unless you are masochistic and/or easily bored, you aren’t renovating the office very [...]

GOPB Part 1 – Green Office Advocate

July 4, 2008

Promise 1: I pledge to designate a Green Office Advocate for my company to hold us accountable for our pledge. Every effort needs a leader just like every body needs a head. Without heads there would be a lot of bodies wandering into traffic, walking into walls and generally screwing up anything requiring cognitive thought. [...]

The Green Office Pledge Breakdown – Intro

July 3, 2008

Last week we received an email about the Green Office Pledge. This pledge, designed by a group of Philadelphia organizations, is a challenge to local businesses to green up their act. Basically, the hope is that each business will fill out the online web form to “sign” the pledge and then attempt to abide by [...]

Look at This – Episode 11

July 2, 2008

We are currently discussing the shape and direction of this blog, and this has turned out to be a great excuse for my inborn laziness. I feel no compunction to write posts that may be contrary to the eventual blogging strategy we develop, and therefore, I have resorted to silence during the planning process. Fortunately, [...]
