Marykae:
At my work we get a lot of mail. Sometimes the mail comes in large, easy to open without tearing envelopes.
Now, while we can't re use those for clients (they would look unprofessional) I have been using them to send mail to our General Office and our service centers.
In order to do this I have to use an extra label to cover some information. But I think I save more than I am using.

COyou2 Saving the planet one breath at a time
thestovetop:
This site looks interesting, it's talking about personal carbon capture and storage as a strategy to prevent climate change:
http://cou2.com
"The COyou2 patented technology works by filtering the air you breathe out, capturing the carbon in a convenient lightweight backpack.
As you breathe out into the tube, the carbon dioxide passes through a solution of ammonium nitrate and the reaction allows the carbon to be isolated. The carbon is then stored in exchangeable inner bags that can then be sequestered in any nearby location including your own backyard."
I've just ordered a catalogue, it's definitely worth checking out, after all, every little thing makes a difference. I never thought about human beings as being responsible for major carbon emissions, but I'm always looking for ways to lessen my carbon footprint.
What do you guys think?

Lights in Public restrooms
Marykae:
I work in a rather small office building. The restroom on each floor is only shared by, hmm, less than ten offices.
It occurred to me as I walked in one day to change (I walk to work) that if the lights are off when I come in, why not turn them off when I leave? It seems to be accepted when you enter a public restroom that you should leave it in the state you enter it in. Why?
If there is a light switch in an easy to find place, and the restroom is not occupied, I am now going to try to remember to turn it off. It might stay off for hours.
