Ask HN: Companies that are environmentally friendly?
I have been frustrated by the amount of unnecessary paper my company uses since I started working here. Everyone in my office has an aversion to printing two-sided, and lots of unnecessary duplicate copies are made. A proprietary program we use here will actually print your document one-sided even if you changed the settings in the print menu. I am the only one here who cares at all, and it's frustrating.
I just did a google search for "Environmentally Friendly Companies" in an attempt to find a place to work where people actually care about the environment. Well, surprise surprise, in the articles listing the most environmentally friendly companies, my company always made the list. Since I see first-hand that no one here actually cares, this makes me not trust the lists on Google at all.
So HN, I ask you instead: Have any of you ever worked for a first class environmentally friendly organization? If so, where do I apply?
