I work in a male dominated environment. The clients we meet are mostly male too.
It is a office and production environment and wearing skirt may not be that convenient.
He told me one day.
"You should wear a skirt so that you have more sexual appeal"
Is he trying to be funny or sexually harressing me?
Do you think he is a good boss to work with?
I have another boss who told me that he has no opinions about skirts. its the quality of work that matters.
I planned on starting to recycle every day items (cans, paper, bottles, etc) around my house instead of being wasteful and throwing them away. This was just so I could feel like I was helping the environment out a little bit. However, I wanted to know just how useful one person’s monthly recyclables are to helping the environment. Like 2 full garbage bags worth per month.
www.cbc.ca Andrew Ference is the kind of NHL player making a difference on and off the ice. On the ice, he plays defence for the Boston Bruins. Off the ice, he’s pushing the NHL Players Association to become carbon neutral. So, how’d he come up with the idea? Well, when he was playing for the Calgary Flames, Andrew starting thinking about climate change. He got in touch with the ‘David Suzuki Foundation,’ and had breakfast with the man himself. Andrew asked what he could do and the answer he got was to offset carbon emissions. So, Andrew teamed up with the NHLPA and started the ‘Carbon Neutral Challenge.’ The players offset their emissions by buying credits, that help pay for clean energy programs around the world. Last season, more than 500 players signed up. And this season, word of the program is spreading again.
Southwest Airlines Co. has signed a multiyear agreement to use an environmentally friendly engine-washing system in an effort to save on fuel and cut carbon emissions. The Dallas-based carrier is using the ecopower system offered by East Hartford, Conn.-based flight technology firm Pratt & Whitney Global Service Partners. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but Pratt & Whitney said Southwest’s annual fuel-cost savings could exceed million. The airline also stands to cut 135 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions annually as a result. The arrangement with Pratt & Whitney comes as Southwest, along with the rest of the airline industry, faces record-high fuel prices that have led many to trim capacity and levy fees on travelers. Southwest in the first quarter reported a 63 percent drop in profit to million, partially driven by a 34 percent hike in fuel and oil costs compared with the same period of 2007. Southwest said it is performing regular washes at airports in Orlando, Fla., and Oakland, Calif., where Pratt & Whitney has established new service centers. The ecopower equipment uses a closed-loop system with atomized water to wash aircraft engines, avoiding contaminant runoff, Pratt & Whitney said. The patented system is considered more effective and faster than traditional engine-washing processes. Pratt & Whitney parent United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) employs more than 225000 worldwide and in 2007 recorded .22 billion in profit on .8 billion in revenue.
Also, what does it really measure? Carbon emissions, CO2 emissions or greenhouse gas emissions?
Sadly, this is a phenomenon I am quite familiar with. This is just another in a long list of reasons why dogs make better pets than cats
