WAT Went Green

May 8, 2008

Tomorrow, the ANR Web Action Team will attend a unit retreat for staff of Communication Services. The theme of the retreat is "green." Not green as in great big piles of money. Green as in taking care of our environment.

We decided to conduct some case studies on how converting to web-based systems impacts the environment. Bryon and Karl came up with solid data for their studies. I pulled some numbers out of a bag for mine.

We then created a flyer with our case studies. Realizing that this was a slightly absurd maneuver, bringing unnecessary handouts to a gathering meant to celebrate being Green, Karl and Alex whipped up an activity sheet for the back of the flyer. This gives the handout a little more life (although it will still get tossed into the trash, I mean recycled).

To combat Alex and Karl's blatant wastefulness, I decided to post the flyer on our blog to insure that the only thing wasted is your time, a somewhat renewable resource.
