Let me take them in order: Cable recycling has come up a lot lately. We're looking into it and are glad you and others have brought it up. On tips for making iWork/Open Work* even greener, we just concluded a study that showed employees use half as much energy working at home as they do working in Sun's offices. We also found that they save 50-100 times the amount of energy at the office by not commuting an average of two days per week. Additional tips might be a good idea, particularly in areas other than energy. Many of the CRTs have been replaced over the last few years. There is a program in planning stages to replace all of the remaining CRTs. Expect to hear more in the near future. Leslie, thanks for your comments. Let me take them in order:

It would be nice to have a place to get ideas as well as put new ones out there for others to read. Just curious!

We have a LOT of cablesand such. Shouldn't there be some guidelines we could follow or should we just recycle locally? (which, of course, is a guideline!)
