Big Is Green
If you haven’t yet reached the stoke-point in hearing how companies tout their environmentally-responsible ways, read on.
Point 1: Hey, we use rechargeable batteries and reusable digital media! No more one-time-use magnetic tape in plastic housings! No more 35mm film canisters loaded with filmstock and developing chemicals leeching into the ground!
Point 2: OK, so we travel a lot. On planes and in cars and other CO2-emitting conveyances. Who doesn’t?
But we work our dangdest to offset our carbon footprint. How you ask? We’re working with the NativeEnergy Program to calculate our ongoing impact on the environment and make amends for it with…? That’s right, with green (aka “benjamins”, “ducats”, “dollars”). Their web site tells us that, “With NativeEnergy, you can help finance and build new clean and renewable energy projects that help create sustainable economic benefits for Native Americans, Alaska Native villages and other local communities, and that help America’s family farmers compete with agribusiness. These projects will displace electricity from fossil fuels and reduce other greenhouse gas emissions on your behalf, making up for the CO2 emissions you can’t avoid.” How could we say no?
Point 3: Our studio HQ and office operations are located on the third floor of our home, thereby allowing the lead Kahunas to engage in a shoe-leather commute. Additionally, each computer user operates her/his workstation from atop a stationary bike, the pedaling of which generates the power to run the computer! Not really, but wouldn’t that be cool? (of course, you’d need terrycloth keyboards).
Point 4:
