Re: Green Week Kickoff! Take the Challenge, Get Involved = Win Free Stuff

Hi Matt, thanks for raising awareness about this important issue.

For my first post I'll refer my company, www.eqmentor.com - EQmentor is a personal and professional development service that seeks to enhance the emotional intelligence (EQ) of working professionals through an online mentoring process.

When a professional goes to a three-day workshop offsite, the financial costs to the company are significant and the environmental impact can be tremendous. Consider that a typical two-hour round-trip flight, two nights in a hotel, cab rides to and from the airport, as well as printed workshop materials can amount to over 2700 lbs of unnecessary carbon dioxide (CO2) expended.

In contrast, the environmental impact of EQmentor’s online learning solution is no more than an ordinary day. Over three days, a mentee utilizing EQmentor’s learning model will not put any extra strain on the Earth’s resources. It is estimated that the average carbon footprint of an individual during an ordinary day is just 122 lbs.. Over three days this amounts to 366 lbs., which is 7x less than the 2700 lbs. of CO2 that would have been expended during a workshop. Thus, we are proud to claim that EQmentor is 7 times greener than a typical workshop!

EQmentor is changing the lives of working professionals and supporting our environment – one day at a time!

Re: Make A List, Check it Twice

I love lists as well. My issue tends to be around... where do I keep my list? Are all my lists separate or together? My goal is to go 100% paperless within the next 5 years and a phone that organizes all that might be the perfect solution. Until then, I have a grocery list in my kitchen, a project list at the office, a blog list in OneNote, a personal growth list in my journal, etc. And occasionally, that frustrates me more than having no list at all.

But does true fulfillment exist? Like, in the picture - what happens when you get to "where you want to be" .. the cycle just starts all over again, with a new goal. So, in a way, the "lots and lots of work" is really the fun part.
