It Is Rather Easy To Be Green

Since moving into our new office, we have been spending a fair amount of energy (no pun intended) on "greening" up our digs. I know, that's what everyone is saying...well, great. Everyone should jump on the green train. Our employees and clients, like WindLogics, a company that is at the forefront of others explore wind energy, have inspired us to make strategic changes in the way we do business to help better our environment.

It’s just a start, but we thought you might want to hear about some of the things we are up to:

• Green Days (no...not the music group) - to help reduce our auto footprint, Cadria employees are encouraged to work from home and coordinate schedules to optimize travel to client meetings.
• Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs) - we have replaced all of the energy hungry lightbulbs in the office with CFLs, which, with 20+ foot ceilings, was not an easy task.
• Recycle, recycle, recycle - we recycle pretty much everything in our office - office paper, aluminum, plastic, and shredding of confidential documents.
• Coffee, Tea or Water - if you stop by our office, you are welcome to have an individually brewed cup of coffee/tea or a nice cold glass of filtered water. We don't brew big pots of coffee that end up down the drain or use bottles of water that end up in a landfill.
• Green Meetings - we encourage team members and clients to have more conference calls and videoconference meetings (go Skype) over driving here, there and everywhere.
• Printer downsizing - we try to go paperless as much as possible, but when we need to, we encourage everyone to print double sided and on recycled paper.

We are always looking for more ideas - drop us a note at info@cadriamarketing.com with additional green suggestions.
