Sustainability: business, life, environment

Uber: The ultimate, above all, the best, top, something that nothing is better than. 

 

Do you practice eco excellence? Bring your best self to work?  Are you a green gardener of inspiration?  As Albert Einstein said, "It is every man’s obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it."    

From a sustainability perspective, that can take many forms.  As in, caring for the Earth's resources from a physical and material perspective, but also in how our individual thoughts and behavior shapes that caring.  A question to ponder: How are we as individuals contributing back to the world through our attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors?

 

Spot an Uber greenie and you are bound to know!  They are the eco friendly people connecting the dots between good intentions and eco action.  What exactly does this look like?  Uber greenies take the opportunity to engage others in sustainability conversation. How so?  They spice up the discussion with some personal topics of eco awareness.  You can be an Uber greenie too.  Any one typical conversation can be a segway into an exploration of sustainability concepts, how you've embraced personal sustainability and inspire others to do the same.

 

•   Talk about the weather- Grow that typical conversation about local weather patterns into an expanding discussion about climate change.  Take the lead and solicit opinions about global warming, pollution, emissions, or a host of other environmental issues and opportunities related to the weather.  

 

•    Talk about work- Turn that uninspiring workplace problem into an exploration of business sustainability solutions.  Leverage those issues into a discussion of business innovation, operational efficiencies, or exciting new technologies.

 

•    Talk about family and children- Explore conversations about green living, eco travel, or fun green activities for the kids.

 

•    Talk about projects around the house?  There are a number of topics to choose from, either though personal experience or thoughts of doing in the future.  As a starter, energy efficiency is always a conversation starter for home improvement projects and appliance upgrades.

 

Have fun with it, see where the conversation goes, and applaud yourself for being an uber greenie spreading green goodness and sharing eco awareness with others!
