Wind-power cards
I like Whole Foods and am certainly surprised that they've stooped to something like this.
Whole Foods' useless wind-power cards: "Mark Frauenfelder: Whole Foods is selling wind-power cards that looks like gift cards (with dollar amounts on them), but you can't actually use them to buy wind-generated (or any other kind of) power. In fact, the cards don't do anything but enrich an Enron-like energy broker called Renewable Choice Energy.
LinkWhen you buy a card, you don't get any wind-generated electricity delivered to your home however. In fact, all you get is a card that doubles as a refrigerator magnet. Actually, you don't even get any credits, it's just a word they use to give you a sense of getting something from your money. The money you spend goes towards helping Renewable Choice Energy buy and sell electricity.
The cards are not even an investment, because you won't get any material value in return. It's all going to help another company get rich. Most companies seek investors to secure capital. But in this case, RCE is asking people for free money under the context of doing your part to help the environment.

iPod at work
If I'm in the car most of the day of course the iPod is with me. Radio here in Denver is horrible, and monopolized by Clear Channel.
One in five use iPod at work: "
Read'|'Permalink'|'Email this'|'Linking'Blogs'|'CommentsA British survey has found that upwards of 22% of employees listen to their iPod, or other digital audio player, for up to 3 hours out of the work day. Shocking, isn't it? OK, so this isn't big news but it would seem that 30% of British firms surveyed have banned the use of iPods at the work place.
I'm not sure I could actually do my job without listening to music, but at least on productivity expert warns that listening to music might cause people to work less.
So, readers, does your company ban the use of iPods at work?
