John Gleeson responded to our first blog blast by forwarding to me a New York Times article and a Wall Street Journal editorial about Al Gore's selection as winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. While acknowledging the discussion about Gore's selection and the topic of global warming overall has become hotly politicized, John's point is, in his words "it seems that there must be some sane things that might make sense for us as individuals, and as a company to think about from a "good for the environment perspective - not necessarily solving global warming." Point being is that we can do things on a smaller scale to reduce our carbon footprint, as they say.
The Environmental Council would love to hear your ideas on what we can do at work to better sustain our environment. Post your ideas here or contact any of the committee members listed on the right.
