Tips for Greening the Work Place -

-Turn off your computer at the end of a work day.

-Look for a carpool to take you to and from work.
-Reuse mugs and cups in the office.
-Use recycled paper for all your printing needs as well as having a recycle system in place.

Comments

Great concept, one huge "image" problem - Che Guevara isn't exactly a role model for either environmentalism or, as it turned out, social justice either. Far too many were enslaved, died, reduced to poverty through his philosophy (like many other philosophies) to make him a "poster child" for any kind of environmental, social or economic justice movement.

Please pick a better image!
