Green ideas

Rethink your travel > Make it a habit to take the train, bus, or subway when feasible instead of a rental car when traveling on business. If you have to rent a car, some rental agencies now offer hybrids and other high-mileage vehicles. > Make it a policy to invest in videoconferencing and other technological solutions that can reduce the amount of employee travel. Reconsider your commute > Make it a habit to carpool, bike, or take transit to work, and/or telecommute when possible. If you need to drive occasionally, consider joining a car-sharing service like Zipcar and Flexcar instead of owning your own wheels. > Make it a policy to encourage telecommuting (a nice perk that's also good for the planet!) and make it easyfor employees to take alternative modes of transportation by subsidizing commuter checks, offering bike parking, or organizing a carpool board.
