Now here's an interesting fact, according to the Thai solar calendar, the color associated with Wednesday is green.  As a sustainability consultant, I have to smile!  Why not have a little fun on hump day and spark some eco awareness into your day? 

As a personal consultant in the area of creating sustainable lifestyles, I like to offer fun challenges to our clients to see how many green things they can do in a day, a week, or month.   Using creative ways to introduce sustainability concepts keeps a personal sustainability plan fun and fresh.  Also, by focusing on a specific day or event, it elevates the priority of eco awareness that sometimes gets lost of buried in daily habits.    With that being said, "How do you plan to green your hump day?"  Here are a few ideas to get you started: 
  • Green your Cubicle

  • Go paperless  for the entire day.

  • Use technology to go green.

  • Take on a new sustainability role or green project at work.  Become the “go-to” person for sustainability knowledge.

  • Create a green discussion group at work or in your community.
