This post has wind

Today I found out this website, this computer, this office and infact every single The Body Shop store in Australia, is powered by 100% wind power - cool!

This summer we're going to try and reduce the amount of energy we need to cool our office. It's pretty simple, the people sitting near East-facing windows just need to remember to close the blinds before they go home so the office doesn't warm up in the morning.

In other environews: today I spoke with and am excited about meeting the folks at the Australian Conservation Foundation. I'd like to see how The Body Shop can help promote their brilliant Who On Earth Cares campaign. At the time of writing this post, only 9,111 Australians have said they care (!!) I'm sure we can help boost these numbers. If the environment is an election issue for you, have a read of their Election Scorecard to see exactly how green your party really is.

Finally, I'm a big fan of Desert Cubes for saving water in the gents'. Did you know the average urinal uses 151,000 litres of water per year?

I'll be trying to get them for The Body Shop ASAP!
