At this very moment, we're sending you a message from the sun.
To be more precise, we're powering our computer (and the entire office) using solar power.
This weekend, LEA pored over the instructions and assembled a solar powered generator kit in front of headquarters in Silver Spring, MD. It was way easier and far less expensive than any of us anticipated.
Of course, we're still small and are using electricity mainly to run office computers, printers and similar small appliances, but we're very pleased to make the transition from depending on the grid to do our work, to using energy from a clean, renewable source.
Fortunately, we've got a pretty good amount of natural light & are using CFL's in the dim hours. We've also purchased a fair amount of our printed material from a cool online source which offers 100% recycled alternatives for items like letterhead and business cards. It's still baby steps, but we feel confident that they're baby steps in the right direction.
If you've got other suggestions on how you've done great green things at the office or at home, let us know!!
