Is printer friendly Earth friendly?

One of the points of my new book (Saving The World At Work, Sept 2008) is that we are printing more pages than ever.

Adopt a weekly eco-innovation

Whether you are a company, or just an individual, you must continually innovate to maximize your green-ness. The best way to do this is by focusing on a single weekly innovation. Think about everything …

What I’m snacking on right now

Actually, right now I’m snacking on a carrot. My brain says, why not some chips, but Michael Pollan’s brilliant new book (In Defense Of Food) suggests otherwise. In this provocative and life saving book, he explains why being nutrition minded isn’t enough. In fact, most ‘nutritious’ products give us heart disease, diabetes and colon cancer. …
