Open Letter to the Office Green Champion

Dear Office Green Champion,
The Office’s new intranet site has allowed you to create an eco-group “Friendly Energy” page. Very successful it is too. The page has a handy tip for turning socks into draft excluder “snakes” [take sock/fill it with more socks/staple sock of socks to bottom of door – I imagine are the instructions, not that I have read them]. It also has a monthly question where the answer is always in the currency of heated microwave meals. This month's number of microwave meals one can heat with the power saved from turning off 15 office PC monitors when not in use is truly harrowing.

However, from this informative and passive step you have quickly become militant – a regular Swampy – office bins labeled for various recycling materials only have just been the start. Reducing default font sizes, lecturing about the evils of polystyrene and hemp craft barter days have followed.

Tonight I see your precious Sun is going to be bombarding us with what I am calling “kill rays”.

I bet you are regretting all that recycling to help it now.

Yours,
G. Tombs
