Everyone around you warns you to recycle for a greener planet, you try collecting glass and plastic bottles after parties, you are in traffic and see environmental friendly cars, and the toilet paper you used this morning was probably recycled. What’s with this whole “green” movement you ask? After decades of research (by geeks), humans finally realized that we’ve been trashing the earth. By going Green we can help the planet become a better place!
At Accessory Geeks, we practice and support a greener planet. We want to help our fellow geeks, who stand to make a difference in this world by going green. It might take more than 1 person or even 1 group of geeks to start seeing this effect, but all it takes is one geek’s example! So for once let’s get off our computers and look @ your surroundings. If you have things you can recycle, do so to make the planet a better place for our future geeks!!
Here's some of our solutions or methods in order to help save the environment:
Shop Online!
Save your environment, save your money, save yourself a walk.
According to a recent study by Carnegie Mellon University’s Green Design Institute, shopping online consumes less energy and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 35% compared to shopping at retail stores.
If you shop online at AccessoryGeeks you are saving and reducing fewer steps in getting products from our warehouse to your home. Instead of going to the store, you can see all the selection of cell phone and iPod accessories on our website. You get your products at your doorsteps at no time, you save money on travelling, and you're helping the environment by not driving your car.
Start Recycling!
If you are like me I’m sure you can find a lot of plastic bottles in your room or your car. Don’t just throw them out but walk it over to a recycle bin. Imagine the day you will be able to see the L.A. sky scrapers clearly during the afternoon. We can all make a difference. Only thing it will take is the determination, education, and the resources. The geeks @ Accessory Geeks will be more than willing to help you guys with this process after all we are all geeks! So gather up your geeky posse and let’s change together for the world for ourselves and for the future geeks! |

Use Recyclable Materials
Next time you take a trip to your grocery market try looking for things that have been recycled. Such as recycled toilet paper, recycled paper, and recycled cans. It might cost a little more, but think about the rewards we will receive in the future. Cleaner air, and a better to live for all the geeks. |
Here's some of the thing the Geeks have done to help reduce the damage:
- Amazingly about 75% of our office supplies are recyclable (big props to our HR Geek).
- All the Geeks here started using the electronic Post-its - it's a nifty little program that you can get here.
- We have 2 Recycle bin located in the lunch room and on the way out from the warehouse
- We switched to recyclable cups instead of using the Styrofoam cups for our daily dose of coffee (we all know a geek cannot function to its full potential without its Coffee).
- Most of our Geeks are avid online shoppers - they said it's cheaper to shop online anyway!
- Some of our Geeks carpool to work - that's one less car per day!
Simple tips on going green
- Stop idling your car! (It saves gas too!!)
- Unplug your phone charger from the outlet after your done charging your phone!
- Some geeks might be terrified of this concept, but turn your computer off when you step outside your house! (if you’re an old school geek, when on the computer turn your TV off @ home)
- Wash your laundry in cold water (90% of the energy in washing clothes goes towards heating so cold water it is!)
- Pay your bills online and save paper
- Try Carpooling with another geek. (it’s a great way to meet new geeks and save the environment!)
