What are the environmental risks in transporting crude oil?

The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill remains the justifiable example of how the transportation of oil can suddenly wreak a huge environmental and economic crisis. Eleven million gallons of oil leaked, unstopped, from the ship when it hit rocks in 1989. Initial cleanup, by most reports, took three years and amounted to a cost of over $2.5 billion. The sheer numbers of animals and birds destroyed were devastating. In fact, hundreds of thousands of birds, harbor seals, and whales were killed. And what we learned about that spill is that still the only "effective" way the oil industry has to clean up the mess is with the use of absorbent paper towels.

How do you keep waste to a minimum in an office?

AnswerSome suggestions: Keep the faxes, printers, and copiers in good working order so that they produce good copies and don't "eat" copies. Order good quality paper that is the recommended weight for the office machines. Eliminate the confirmation page of the fax by changing the setting. Periodically ask everyone to purge their desks of excess pens, stickies and other supplies. Order a reasonable amount of supplies for a short period so there is not a feeling of over supply and that usage doesn't matter. Set expectations that people not take supplies home with them, or use the copier for excessive numbers of copies. Organize supplies and remove those that are out of date in a closet. Request that people ask for supplies from a specific person by a deadline and order from the request list. Turn off the lights if you are the last one leaving.
