It’s energy saving week this week!
The energy saving trust are stepping up the mark and have lots planned this week to help save energy. This years theme is waste, where they are helping people all over the UK to stop wasting time, energy and money! That sounds pretty good to me…we could all do with a bit of that couldn’t we?

Saving energy and money at work
At Greene and Co, we care about the environment and I always read with interest anything that offers advise on saving the planet. Not only is it a great thing to help our lovely little earth, but on a more personal level it usually helps you save some money too!
I found this great little article on the Energy Savings Trust website which offers all sorts of easy little tips to help you do your bit and save a few hard earnt pennies along the way, including:
Hold meetings online rather than in offices
If your company has several different office, think about using video conferencing facilities instead of sending staff to meet face to face. If your company can’t justify the expense of a packaged video conferencing suite, think about using the free Apple iChat or Microsoft Netmeeting web conferencing software. Your IT team (or an IT contractor) should be able to set it up easily.
What a brilliant tip - not only saves money on travel, but saves time too…something we’re all a bit short of.
