Yes, it costs a lot for companies to go the 100% premium green power, going any green power is important, but what product you purchase from what supplier is equally important to the goal! Recycling is important start and a lot of other methods are available for companies to have a look at; only using green paper, green suppliers, printers, recycling computers, switching bulbs, the office kitchen, fridge, dishwasher, bathrooms etc. The list is endless of actions to go further! Green everything, only ride to work or catch public transport, neutralise your home bill (on average a household produces 14 tonnes of greenhouse gass emissions per year), switch off appliances at the wall, make goal to use power saving rated appliances, setup power saving profiles on your computers, make sure monitors are being switched off, don't use A/C, put on another layer of clothes or strip down a little in summer. And then there is everything for saving water! Great respect sent your way!

We also have a very organised recycling system enforced through the workplace too - good to see the corporate world is taking responsibility!
