Lights Off. We're Going Green Today!

In conjunction with the Global Earth Day, we've decided to help save some energy by working with natural lights. You know, we've got ample (burning hot) sunshine here in Malaysia and the way our office is designed allows for that to happen. All lights are switched off, until it's about to rain when it gets quite dark.

Quite cool. How much energy we actually saved, I've no idea but I've done my part. We've all done our part. Someone has suggested the followings as an extention of this exercise, which other companies can easily adopt, but there are some limitations:

• Switch off the aircon - I'll be the first one to object, coz the office would stink like a post-office
  
• All go out for lunch, switch off lights, switch off aircon - nobody's moving their ass when this was brought up
  
• All work from home - "you'll still turn on the lights at home, what's the difference?" plus, you'll slack
  
• Plant trees - our China office did it, isn't this Bandaraya's job?
  
• Ditch a car day - haha, comments from someone we know, "I can't. I have meetings, if I take a train I won't be able to make it back to the office on time." Hello... it's collective effort.

Well, well... we're supposed to celebrate Earth Day, but why it sounds like it takes a lot more energy to save some energy? :D

(P.S.: This is written while I'm still in the office after work, with lights turned on. Looks like I'm not contributing at all...)
