Green initiatives

Here is a list of green initiatives done at the Homebase organisations.

Nothing is too small, and nothing is too big. Some acts was done by a single person, some required more coordination.

It is intended as part three (and draft for part for) of the following proposed ruleset:

Ruleset for a green movement

1. Think globally
2. Act locally
3. Inspire fellows at our community[1]
4. Brag publicly

The idea is to do the walk before doing the talk. And to brag about it only as a side-effect, not as a main goal.

Please note, that...:

• It is not a competition - no need writing who did it
• It is not a wishlist - mention only stuff already done (no matter if it could/should be repeated or extended)
• It is not fingerpointing - mention what you did yourself, and recommend others to add their stuff too

Concrete green initiatives

I/we have excercized to...:

• Use public transportation
• Hitch-hike (in favor of public or private transportation)
• Drink tap water (not bottled water)
• Use special computers with low power consumption for servers running 24/7
• Rent computing time at providers claiming to be CO2-neutral
• Use train + ferry (in favour of flying) inside Scandinavia
• Eat locally produced food (avoiding excess transportation)
• Buying/drinking organic milk
• Using wiki for information sharing with students (instead of paper hand-outs)
• Turning off the bathroom light when nobody is in there
• Filling dishwasher completely before starting it.
