Bamboo Designs understands the importance of preserving the environment. That's why we've taken a number of steps to ensure the sustainability of our own business, while ensuring our carbon footprint is low as well. What follows below is a series of initiatives we've started internally in order to have a more positive effect on the environment.Paperless CompanyWhile it is difficult to have an entirly paperless company, we feel that we can limit the amount of physical paper we use. How do we do this? Through our unique Website Planning Worksheet, we find it a very useful tool for reducing the amount of paper needed. Also, we do all of our invoicing, billing, and communication electronically, ensuring that the least amount of paper is used when dealing with clients.Bamboo Website Planning Worksheet Computer UseWhile we do use power with our computers, we have taken a company wide initiative to reduce power usage from our designers computers. Our search engines default to Blackle instead of Google, our desktop backgrounds are darker colours, and we ensure to put our computers in powersaving mode when not in use.Future Initiatives:We are looking into purchasing Green Power (www.bullfrogpower.com) to power our webservers for all our clients. |
