I’ve started to notice something quite interesting in the people search industry.
Whitepages.com, which is a very popular people search website has changed its redesign to green.
Upon further investigation, I’ve discovered they went green on July 2010 by doing the following things:
They purchased ecological compost bins
They got separate bins for the plastic bags. So plastic bags in one bin, all other things in another bin.
They bought paper towels suitable for recycling.
I congratulate WhitePages for this act .
Environment friendly politics should be one of the top priorities, not only at Whitepages but in every people search association
The eco-trend is clearly spreading and smaller people search sites like FinderMind also took some steps toward on a greener way .
Darren, the creator of Findermind, moved the file hosting to a environment friendly company and started to segregate waste for recycling
We’re still waiting for other sites to announce their commitment to going green and protecting the environment.
Here are some tips for web companies if they plan to go green in the near future:
You can join Earth Day movement and participate in eco-actions that are connected to celebration of the Earth Day .
According to many green activists, Earth Day is the most important day for the green movement .
Make your company join this wonderful movement!
You can start using hybrid vehicles for transportation .
(If your company is big enough, that is) Small companies probably don’t have that many transport needs, but hybrid cars can be bought by giant companies and can add a lot to the popularity of such a company.
Celebrate the green color! Add more green things to your office! Green is a wonderful color indeed which has the potential to bring you more relaxation and peace.
Consult yourself with an expert. Hire an expert to propose some replacements to your office material. You can get many green replacements for some of the material you have in your office.
Going green is great! Become a part of the movement!
