Best Practices Uses Best Practices
My kids yelled at me last night: "Dad! The plastic container goes in the plastic container box! NOT THE TRASH!" Nice. Environmental-friendly-kids.
Even in my day-to-day law practice, I am finding that I am taking small steps to lessen my impact on the environment. (... Did I just say that? Out loud? ... ) I am reading correspondence, project documents, and pleadings electronically. I am selectively sending out correspondence "Via Email Only" to my clients and opposing counsel. And I just started an monthly e-newsletter. If you would like to join, please sign up.
My first newsletter just went out this week and I have received numerous positive responses (... Hi Lauren! Hi Jeff! Hi Kelly! ...) My e-newsletter host, MyEmma, and their partner, Plant-It 2020, planted 5 trees on behalf of Best Practices Construction Law and 1,645 trees on behalf of other customers who signed up in May.
Whether law firm, non-profit organization, architect, engineer, owner-developer, contractor or supplier ... what are you doing to lessen your impact on the environment?
I think it is great how people are doing the small things that will add up. It is just as easy to do big things also. The largest user of energy in a home is usually the heating and cooling system. If we all replaced those with geothermal imagine what an impact that could have on our environment.
