Just remember about it: next April 22nd is Earth Day.

The history of Earth Day is such as written in Wikipedia was begining as the continuity of celebration of The equinoctial Earth Day (March equinox). It was Gaylord Nelson, the principal founder of Earth Day, every April 22nd since 1970. You can read his statement here.   Guys, I am not really care about this. The truth is I just need a “real green work”.  The options are;- we do something to save our environment or we let the capitalizm ruins it. The real green work is not always a great green work. Starting from small thing, such as dedicated manage your own trash wisely, processing it into compost, and plant some trees. Small work to do for the sake of the green Earth.

Here are Green tips at work that I adopted from some site;-

• You can save trees by using paper wisely, such as;-  Photocopy or print on both sides of the page and reuse paper until both sides are used up. Reduce the number of hard copies and try to distribute the soft copies instead of hard copies. Buy recycled, chlorine-free paper and recycle office paper when you are finished with it, reuse envelopes — people need the content instead of the envelope, use a plain paper fax machine so you can reuse and recycle the paper.
• Implement purchasing policies that consider the environmental record of companies you are buying goods and services from.
• Use paper clips, staples, string or non-toxic glue instead of adhesive tape when possible. Use stick-type glues or basic white glue. Avoid glues and cements that emit the smell of solvents (ie. rubber cement, hobby glue).
• Use crayons, china markers (wax pencils) or coloured pencils instead of solvent based markers.
• Use refillable pens and pencils rather than disposable ones.
• Take your own ceramic or china coffee cup to work, and bring your lunch in a reusable container.
• Investigate the health hazards in your office and line of work. Seek and promote alternatives.
• Help educate your coworkers about the environment.
• Set up a recycling program.
• Set up an environmental bulletin board to post notices about local environmental meetings, environmental news and green cleaning tips.
• Encourage your company pension plan not to invest in companies that harm the environment.
• Lobby your company to set up a committee to monitor its environmental performance, and a good company usually has its SHE.
• Walk or ride a bike to work. Use public transit or carpool – you can advertise at work or on community bulletin boards.

Well, you never know if you don’t try. What are you waiting for?
