I interviewed Chris Messina and Ivan Storck about green coworking at Citizen Space about a year and a half ago, if that's helpful.

Hi, I know a number of coworking space make quite a bit of effort in being green, I'm wondering though, at the same time a number of founders and members are also very nomadic, spending time in a variety of places, travelling a lot, going to conferences, etc. That polutes A LOT. I rarely hear talk about trains or offsetting. What are your policies in that regard? Do you offset everything? Where? And if you have such personal policies, shouldn't we put more emphasis on those? We evangelize the freelancing/coworking lifestyle quite a bit but I dont think enough time is spent on thinking and presenting solutions regarding our environmental impact.

Excellent. CubesCrayons in Menlo Park is Green also. We haven't gotten certified but are looking into it. You can read what we do/have done in being green here: http://cubes.typepad.com/blog/2008/10/coworking-is-green.html All the best.

Cool! More green! Just in case you didn't know, Citizen Space is green certified (or all it needs it Ivan to complete the process). We have spent a great deal of time making certain that: - It's virtually paper free (chose to not get a fax machine, a photocopier and only have a small printer we co-use that we have gone through one ream of paper in 2 years) - We use recycled, reused, repurposed or low impact materials in everything we do - We have a low flow toilet and encourage ppl to use less hand towels and water in the bathroom - Have the minimum in utilities usage (we have all CFL's, no central heating and installed fans) - And dozens of other things You may also want to talk with Ivan Storck who is a Citizen resident and who has helped us through this process greatly. And we're close by. :) Tara On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 9:46 AM, detodosmoles [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Hi everyone, I'm Thoi, part of a Green MBA student team thinking about starting up a co-working space in the Bay Area that emphasizes *green* aspects.

Wow Tara, one ream of paper in two years?! I'm afraid to think about how much paper I'm required to use in my corporate job (which is financing my education). Congrats on your upcoming green cert too. This past summer our Eco-Commerce Models class helped local Bay Area businesses green themselves, some on their way to achieving certification. We'll have to do a field trip to check out Citizen Space and chat with you and Ivan. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Coworking group.

Sounds awesome! I'm sure Ivan would love to go over how he helps businesses do the same. :) (I cc'd him here to let him know I roped him into it) T On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 11:51 AM, detodosmoles [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Wow Tara, one ream of paper in two years?!
