Our office has been doing a couple of things to be greener. We now have twice as many recycle cans around, and on Earth Day we all contributed and cleaned up our office park and surrounding area. On the technology side we recently got some new green external hard drives that have 3 different sleep modes. They really have cut down on our computer energy use and apparently increase the life of the hard drive itself. They are from Kanguru and are called the Kanguru Eco Drive. We also started filling the vending machines with vendors who promote healthy eating like Kashi products and soy snacks. I think the name of our vendor is Healthy Vending.

Hope this is some more helpful advice!
