✶ Last Class: Being Green

Hey, everybody!

One of our last activities was to create a slogan and answer some questions about Sustainability and also discover some ways to reuse things we don't want anymore. 

This is what I got:

Slogan: 

The future of green is yellow.  Let's keep our future green.

My company works with the "5 S Methodology" which is a list of 5 Japanese words that organize our workspace efficiently. That includes identifying and storing things we use and recycling what is no longer necessary. It is a very strict and helpful program.

Every coworker of mine uses his/her car to go to restaurant at midday. I think they could go with one car,  using fewer cars and wasting less gasoline. That would help traffic, environment and also their wallets.

At home, we recycle trash, separate the kitchen oil, turn off the lights and electronics when we are not using them. There are, probably,  a lot of other methods to help the environment, but we must discover them and create a green habit at home or at work.
