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 [...]

Origins of Postgreen – Part 2

July 12, 2008

Back in September of 2007 I wrote a post on the Origins of Postgreen and never followed it up with a final post on the subject. Well, now that Nic has gotten me back into blogging here at Postgreen, I guess I should finish this up. Last time I left off with me finishing college [...]

Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Category

July 10, 2008

One of the reasons we started a blog hear at Postgreen was to talk about starting and growing a small business with more than just financial profit in mind. Since starting Postgreen, I have become more familiar with the term “Triple Bottom Line” which embodies the core values we had in mind when starting the company.

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. [...]
