The Green Comes Marching In
October 14th, 2008
A menagerie of velvet puffy animals invaded the office this evening and promptly attached themselves to all things electric.
Sam, who led the green movement, says: “The animals are very well-trained. They pop up where you least expect to remind you to turn off all power points and appliances at the end of the day. With Singapore in a technical recession, there’s no better time to save green by being green!”
The cute creatures are a hit with the team, though Jiayi was not impressed with the turtle dinosaur on her laptop Kramer’s, cable.
spanking new laptop = cool. spanking new laptop with sticker on cable = not cool. thankyouverymuch.

Aside from switching off, there are other little things we do to stay green, such as:
- printing 2 pages on each side of the sheet for internal documents
- using tupperware to buy back meals (not so easy to remember when deadlines loom)
- bringing our own bags to the supermarket
- shaking the printer cartridge till its absolute last drop
- setting the air-conditioner at 25C
- cycling to work (well, Pam used to do this until her bike got
stolenborrowed for an indefinite length of time by a stranger)
The Singapore Environment Council (SEC) has more tips on how to make your office eco-friendly. We’d be happy to share our stickers!
