What really goes on in Dentsu Utama.

An email conversation on any day...

Jeremy>
As many of you know, thanks to Sue Yin’s “Turn off your main switches” and “Polystyrene-Free Office Starting Tomorrow” e-mails, Dentsu Utama is now eco-friendly!
And to add to the list of “Green things to do”, we’re also conducting a “No lights lunch time” initiative. Don’t worry, it’ll be only done once a week, on Fridays.
So, from this week onwards, the office will be in the dark during Friday’s lunch time.
If you must work, and REALLY, REALLY, REALLY (You get the idea) need a light, then you may switch on a light. Only one.
First ‘No lights lunch time’: Friday, 11th September 2009. 1pm – 2pm.
Thanks!

The Green Buddies' Experiment



Ok, here's what happened to the second seed. It didn't grow. So we sowed another seed and we had little plant-lets. It's so cool. We were so happy to see them emerging from the soil. And it took a long while to wait.

Now we know how it feels to wait for something to grow.

I learnt that it takes a lot of patience to grow a plant and i think Mother Nature is patient enough to wait a few million years to see her forests grow into green canopies that spread across continents. And only to find out in the end that those canopies are beginning to disappear because of industrialisation and capitalism.
