<p>If you had to give your workplace a grade for &quot;greenliness&quot; what would it be?&#0160; Most people I&#39;ve talked to say they at least have recycling containers at work.&#0160; For paper that is.&#0160; Not many have recycling for cans or plastic though.&#0160; Not many have consistently emphasized programs for energy efficiency either (with a focus on turning computers and equipment off at night, turning lights out when not in use, replacing old incandescent bulbs with high-efficiency ones, etc.)&#0160;</p>
<p>Come on now.&#0160; It&#39;s 2012.&#0160; We&#39;ve had 42 Earth Days come and go since the first one in 1970.&#0160; What seems to be the problem?&#0160; Don&#39;t settle for a &quot;D&quot; on your report card.</p>
<p>At <a href="http://vermontwoodsstudios.com" target="_self" title="Natural Handmade Eco Friendly Furniture from Vermont">Vermont Woods Studios</a> we&#39;re trying to help make this year&#39;s Earth Day (April 22, 2012) a little more successful in the workplace.&#0160; Manjula and Dennis cooked up a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/VermontWoodsStudios/events" target="_blank" title="Earth Day - Green Up Your Work Place - Facebook Challenge">&quot;Green Up Your Workplace Challenge&quot;</a>.&#0160; It&#39;s a virtual Facebook event and we&#39;re asking you to attend.&#0160; You can do so by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/VermontWoodsStudios" target="_blank" title="Facebook, Vermont Woods Studios">liking us on our Facebook</a> and then attending the &quot;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/VermontWoodsStudios/events" target="_blank" title="Green Up Your Workplace for Earth Day">Green Up Your Workplace</a>&quot; event (a Facebook page where we&#39;ll post photos, links, stories, tips and advice for how to get an A in &#39;greenliness&quot; for your workplace).&#0160;</p>
<p>Give it a try!&#0160; Our goal is to get 400 people to attend the &quot;<a href="http://vermontwoodsstudios.com/content/earth-day-2012-green-workplace-challenge" target="_self" title="Green Up Your Workplace Challenge - Join Us!">Green Up Your Workplace Challenge</a>&quot; between now and Earth Day and we&#39;re going to plant a tree for each person who attends.&#0160; How about giving us a hand?</p>
