Last week’s eco-topic: Green workplace
>> Q&A: De-bottling the workplace. Melissa asks: “We go through a large amount of water bottles a day. I have considered glass cups and a filtered water pitcher instead — I am concerned the waste from buying a water pitcher and filters is much too — any ideas on what to offer?”
>> Green Workplace week: Roundup of eco-office tips. We had greening tips for the workplace all last week — and now I’ve put them all in a handy roundup so you can start implementing them this week!
In other news:
>> 6-week green living workshops start early March. Try the 6-week Sustainable Works Green Living Workshop program! Each week, you’ll get some help greening a different area of your life.
>> Q&A: A CFL bulb with a warm fuzzy glow. Mike in the Mountains asks: “Do you know where I can find an energy efficient lightbulb that has a warm cast to the light?”
>> A prize-winning, almost-free drink: L.A. tap water. Another reason to ditch the bottled water habit: L.A. tap water tastes good! In fact it’s so yummy it won “best municipal water” at the 18th annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting over the weekend.
And a linky post:
>> P.M. Greenlist: Freeway-like roads and disconnected rail systems.
