Earth Day is coming fast, so I thought it only right to make this portion of the group scoop a green one.
From global warming to clean air to public image there’s a lot of reasons to work towards making your company a greener one. We have some great suggestions to make your next company travel event a more environmentally friendly one.
5 ways to make your next company meeting greener:
Rent a Hybrid- make a conscious effort to rent Hybrid cars. Groople’s exclusive partnership with Avis and Budget can get you group rates on Hybrids
Go Portland- host your next meeting in Portland and support the city who by many accounts tries hardest to be environmentally sustainable
Carbon Funds- these funds allow your company to "pay it forward" and buy carbon offsets...the money you give to funds like carbonfund.org will be used to invest in clean energy or enviromental improvment projects
Energy independence is much more important than global warming. When the US is energy independent there will be no more oil wars and the terrorists will no longer be able or interested in reaching us. This will save lives AND energy. The global warming crowd can't claim this. The truth is only the Chinese can stop man made climate change. They are going through an industrial revolution that is sure to dwarf our own. Does this mean we should do nothing? Far from it. Let's study what Denmark, France, Brazil, and Australia have done on energy and do likewise. Let's drill wherever we have oil and put a new nuclear power plant in every state. Let's use all our coal and natural gas. We don't need foreign energy. And we will be safer, greener, and richer with out it.
