Green Office Space

TriLibrium is growing and that means we need to move our office. Of course we're doing everything to be as sustainable as possible and so I thought it would be fun to engage my readers in the process.

What are some of the leading edge ideas for professional office space?

What should be included? What should we avoid?

We are looking for suggestions, ideas and recommendations on every aspect of moving a business and readying the space from equipment suggestions, to materials, build out, furnishings, etc.

It is likely that we'll have new offices by February 1st. I look forward to starting a dialog and blogging about it as we move forward.

P.S. I like the "HELP" in the picture, not the paper. TriLibrium used less than three reams of paper in our first year of operations.

It aint easy being Green

I'm trying to locate 9" x 12" and/or 10" x 13" envelopes. I would like to find the highest post-consumer recycled content as possible. I searched and searched and after an hour of searching the best thing I could find were 40% PCW in a natural brown. Where is the market for recycled office supplies and why aren't there more?

My effort to find security envelopes with any recycled content came up empty. Please let me know if you have a source for such items.

It shouldn't be this hard being green. Where are the entrepreneurs to supply this market? Where are the responsible manufacturers? I realize this market is driven by economies of scale which makes it difficult for recycled products to compete with virgin when so many people purchase strictly on price.
