It’s 2009. We have a new president in powe of the free world. One of his goals is to get the U.S. off of fossil fuels as much as possible.
He’s planning on giving tax breaks to corporations that adopt green technology and procedures. He’s also planning on funding many startups who are targeting the green industry.
Just out of curiosity…how many of you are on board with this idea?
Do you recycle all of your trash (or as much as possible)? Do you bring your own bags to the store to reduce plastic bag wastes hitting the landfills? Are you driving or planning to drive an alternative energy vehicle (hybrid or all electric)? Are you even conscious of your carbon footprint that you’re leaving on mother earth?
I’m not here to blow the big green megaphone and say, “Well why aren’t you!?”. I’m here to just gauge what impact does all the news feeds and articles floating around have on us?
I’ll admit, I’m not as green as I should be. But, when I throw out garbage, I do watch what I put in the trash, in the recyclable bin, and the compost bin.
I do pledge to do better and I hope you do too.


EEEEK! Yeah, that’s probably what went through your mind when you were told by the hiring manager, “Be sure to block off 2-3 hours of your day for the interview. You’ll be meeting with myself and your (x number) of co-workers. We’ll be interviewing you together”. I think this panel style process is becoming more and more prevalent with the shrinking job market and hiring managers becoming increasingly pickier.
