AW: climate-neutral flights and drives!

[Joelle Lyons Everett]

Chris--

I really like your approach of being more mindful about work-related 
practices.   I do a number of small things, like avoiding solvent-based marking pens, 
encouraging clients to recycle paper from their office by re-using it in Open 
Space.   In Seattle, I've had box lunches provided by an organization that 
prepares homeless people to work in the food-services industry.   One client 
eliminated the use of paper and styrofoam cups in an all-day meeting (and 
delighted her staff!) by ordering inexpensive china mugs with the organization logo in 
gold, and greeting participants at the door with a gold pen to mark their 
name on their own mugs.   I'm sure many of these went back to the office, saving 
a lot more throw-away cups.

Because, like you, I live in a rather remote spot, I think twice before 
getting on the road.   Lots of our work must be done face to face, but quite a bit 
can be accomplished via e-mails and conference calls.   On one of the projects 
I'm currently working on, we spent about half of yesterday's conference call 
talking about how to make our weekly calls more productive and helpful.

I wholeheartedly agree that paying attention to the small things helps to 
make me more conscious of the larger issues.

Joelle
