Add a green message to your email from todayYou've probably seen the message, "Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail," at the end of e-mails you receive.Adding a green message to your e-mail signature can be an effective way to draw notice. After all, the people you're e-mailing know you. If you care about the environment, they may wonder what more they can do as well.Here's a story to illustrate my point. Michael, that’s my husband in case you didn' know, added an e-mail signature like the one above to his work e-mails. Others in his department started doing the same. In a staff meeting, the organizer said something like, "Well, I didn't print out an agenda for everyone this time because of all that save-the-paper messages in your e-mails. I wrote it on the board instead."That's a small, but great change. E-mail signatures can help people think. Now here’s something for you to think about:Do you actually refer back to those e-mails you print? How often can you make PDFs of documents instead of printing them?Here are some e-mail signatures I came up with just for you to consider:•If you hug a tree, you'll be hugged back twice. Please think about not printing this e-mail.•Trees like you, so please wink back by not printing this e-mail.•Love a tree, don't hit print.•Make sense, not waste. Don't hit print.•Ask me why you should think twice before printing this e-mail.•Does e-mail make us print more than we did before?•You're too smart to print this e-mail.•Lower your impact today by not printing this e-mail.•Even recycled paper takes energy to make. Do you really need to print this e-mail?If you have a green e-mail signature, please tell us about it.

A guy wakes up one morning to find a gorilla in his tree

A guy wakes up one morning to find a gorilla in his tree. He looks in the phone book and sure enough finds an ad for "Gorilla Pest Control." When he asks if they can remove the gorilla, the service guy asks, "Is it male or female?""Male," he replies."Oh yeah, we can do that. I'll be right there," he states.An hour later, the service guy shows up with a stick, a Rottweiler, a shotgun, and a large pair of handcuffs. He then gives the man some instructions. "I'm going to climb this tree and poke the gorilla with the stick until he falls out of the tree. When he does, the trained Rotty will move in and savage the gorilla's private parts. The gorilla will then cross his hands across his crotch to protect himself, and that's when you move in with the handcuffs!"The man goes pale and asks, "Um, okay, but what do I do with the shotgun?"The service guy replies, "Hopefully nothing, but if I happen to fall out of the tree before the gorilla, you've got to shoot that Rottweiler!"
