For a Greener Tomorrow…

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

In honor of Earth Day, we are launching a section on the blog titled “For a Greener Tomorrow.”

Nuvera Employees will answer this question:
What do you do to promote a greener tomorrow?

I’ve reduced my driving speed from 80 to 70 mph-increasing my mpg by 10%. The side benefit is that my stress level has gone way down!
Tom Holmes, Head of Customer Care

I share magazine subscriptions with colleagues, rather than getting my own.
Gus Block, Director of Marketing

I have been increasing my awareness of green options and adding them to my usual routine. These include always purchasing Energy Star rated appliances, using high efficiency lightbulbs, recycling more paperboard in addition to newspapers and bottles and cans.
Brian Nowicki, Senior Mechanical Engineer

I purposely drive a compact car and use a performance air filter to increase fuel economy. I try to drive in the slow lane and use my brakes as little as possible while accelerating as efficiently as possible. Doing this, I’ve gotten upwards of 36 mpg on a regular basis.
Jim Fowler, Labview Software Engineer

Now’s your chance, tell us here what you do to promote a greener tomorrow!
