This weekend I saw Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth."  It's a powerful look at the facts regarding global warming (or as Seth Godin put it - "atmosphere cancer.")   There's a consensus in the scientific world that if we don't make major changes in our carbon emissions soon, over the next 50 years we are going to see an increase in average global temperature (including ocean temperature) that will drive a whole host of catastrophic consequences.  More, and more severe, storms, for starters.  Melting of huge slabs of ice in Antartica and Greenland, and at the north pole, which will raise ocean levels to the point that a big part of Florida (and hundreds of millions of people's homes around the world) will be under water.  And there's more.  

This got me thinking... as a services business, how can ProtoTest make changes to be more "green" and help reduce carbon emissions?   One thought is to offer our clients some incentive to allow our consultants to work remotely - from home - whenever possible.   Taking cars off the road, especially during stop-and-go commuting hours, would be a step in the right direction.  What do you think?  Would this work for you?  Would your company be willing to support this initiative?
