10e20 Blog

At 10e20, we believe that our environment is sacred. We love fresh air, clean water and a healthy ecosystem. We also believe that at the end of the day, a polluted, decrepit and poor environment creates higher business costs and unforeseen external business risks. As such, we’ve decided to take small steps toward Green business practices to contribute in a small way to a better environment. Following are some of the areas that we are beginning to implement as we grow:

Install Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs: We are replacing approximately 90% of our light bulbs with energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs. The EPA recommends this, and though there is some debate as to weather or not these bulbs pollute if they are broken, we believe that energy saving benefits outweigh any environmental risks over the long-term.

In addition to being Chris’s fiance, and Charlie’s mom, my job here at 10e20 is to manage projects. But lately, I’ve been feeling a little less productive than usual. I chalked it up to wedding stress. Hey, I’m having a bridezilla moment with 2 months left and tons left to do, no wonder I am a little distracted right? Nope. That’s not it. I just started training for the NYC marathon. Maybe I’m tired from all this running? Nope. That’s not it either.

This morning at 7 when I got to the office, I disabled my little bloglines notifier. Eureka.

I just turned it on to see what I’ve been missing. That’s 105 distractions I would have had today. 105 times I would have stopped what I was doing not being able to resist that little popup letting me know that something new is there for me to read. Has Digg dugg a hole too deep for itself yet? What is Google up to today? Have Britney and Paris become BFF again?
