Green is the color of ambition ...

Green is associated with many things. Envy, Environment ! And more over Money !

Off late I notice Green has become a Mantra.

A mantra that should be used to achieve the Green Initiative. Reduce the power usage. Reduce the water usage. Conserve energy. Plant more tress.

Every use of Mantra also has its many mis-uses. Indian mythology has many examples of that !

In today's corporate world, I have started noticing the abuses !

Ambitious managers, upwardly looking ones, all chanting the same mantra. In all meetings.
How green their initiatives are. How the printing is being treated as a modern taboo. How, waterless urinals can save us water. How, plantation around the work place gives cleaner air to breath.

Green has become that one initiative of choice. Everyone is jumping on the green bandwagon. It has become the next color of ambition.

I am personally happy about this change. As for every key killer initiative on the block, this one is also being introduced with chaos, multitude and 80 percent of people focusing of 20 percent green.
Nevertheless, great change in mindset. Great mantra to chant.

Betaal hopes - after the initial abuse goes down rest 80 percent of the job will be done.
We will produce devices that inherently use much less power rather than writing applications to switch them off when a tools thinks it not in use.

We will make our work places green not using Eucalyptus trees that actually make the land baron by sucking in all the water.

We will not have the flowing fountains in front of our office. We will not have urinals that take 20 units of electricity to do the flushing job without water.

We will make the process truly paperless.

Mahatma Gandhi said - "Nature have enough for human beings need. But not enough for human beings greed".

We will be less greedy one day :)
