In the spirit of Earth Day, Carlisle has challenged its employees to commit to greening one aspect of their personal lives.  We figure that, over the course of 365 days, our 150+ employees will reduce the drain on natural resources in over 55,000 ways!

Some of the suggestions we made are:

  • Bring in a coffee mug and stop using the paper/styrofoam cups
  • Buy reusable bags instead of using paper or plastic at the store
  • Switch from incandescent to compact fluorescent light bulbs
  • Walk or take public transportation instead of driving once a week
  • Support local business to cut back on transportation demands
  • Buy organic - you'll reduce the amount of pesticides in our food chain
  • Step up your recycling
  • If you are having a baby, consider cloth diapers
  • Bank online - stop your paper statements
  • Remove yourself from mailing lists

    • Do any of you plan on participating in a similar commitment?  Do you have any other suggestions of simple ways to make a difference?
