When I started this blog it was to try and make sense of all the do’s and don’t of the moving to a more “green” life. Since then, I’ve gotten a job that requires me to commute almost two hours a day. Needless to say this sucks. Not only from an environmentalystandpoint but a physical one as well. It was suggested that I take the train or in my case trains. It would take me three or more hours to do so.
In many respects the job I went to mirrors my gasoline consumption in terms of being more wasteful because I’ve started wasting more paper, food, and time. The company is a very heavy paper consumer, that is, they use a whole hell of a lot of paper. In fact, they have a green committee that prints, the “green” newsletter and posts it on a bulletin board on each floor. I found that hilarious. What I find depressing is that less than six months ago, I was using much less paper and gas, now I feel like I walked backed to the nineties and can’t stop.
Is the green movement helpless when companies waste so much under the guise of prodouctivity?
