Back to running a carbon neutral business
We have just moved into our new office in Edenbridge. We have a beautiful oak-beamed room on the top floor. The people running this office are also very concerned about the environment – not least the preservation of old buildings. My commute to work consists of cycling through country lanes, watching the bluebells, rabbits, pheasants, sheep and llamas. Actually I didn't make that last bit up. There are often llamas in the field next to Staffhurst Wood.
I have just been informed that the office is being closed at the end of August. So I'll be looking for somewhere new once again.
So I am back working from home with a reorganized office. Sadly our old inject printer seemed to miss the old office and is not really functional any more. Between almost any print run the heads were clogging up. It is deeply frustrating. Buying a printer is bound to fill someone burdened by a sensitive environmental conscience with guilt. The least one could expect is to not have to buy again a few years later. One does not have to look far to find evidence that the printer companies' economic models are broken and bad for the environment. So I followed Treehugger's advice and went for a Energy Star certified laserjet, which also claims to automatically go into energy saving mode.
