Energy Efficiency
Did you know that Plasma TVs use significantly more energy than LCDs? Recently, the Super-efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment Initiative (SEAD) ranked TVs on their energy efficiency. Globally, televisions account for 3 to 4% of residential electricity consumption. If all televisions sold were as efficient as the SEAD award-winning models, more than 84 billion kilowatt-hours of energy could be saved worldwide each year by 2020 -- enough to power New York City for nearly a year and a half.

Worksite Wellness
Stressed looking for an appropriate Secret Santa gift or desperate to find a gift on a budget? This year, instead of giving the ordinary, why not give the gift of your services and talents? Skill gifting and trading is an excellent way to not only give a meaningful present, but also build relationships and learn something about your co-workers. Here are some ideas: offer to carpool, babysit or provide a co-worker's child with a safe play area while their parents go out, bring in a healthy dish for lunch, or even better, talk to your co-workers and see what they're interested in.
