			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><span style="color: silver; font-family: Arial">Operating a green business is not only good for the environment but good for our business&#8217;s bottom line because conserving resources and cutting down on waste saves money. The good news is that there are simple things we can do to run an environmentally friendly business. Recycling is the first thing that comes to mind when we think of being environmentally friendly. And recycling is important. But recycling is only one part of the environmentally friendly business equation. We can also take a large step towards being more environmentally friendly by reducing the amounts of waste in our offices and business operations. Here are just ten easy-to-implement ideas for running a green business that we can put into practice right now to make our business a more environmentally friendly place:</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 15.6pt"><span style="color: silver; font-family: Arial">1. <strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Turn off equipment</span></strong> when it&#8217;s not being used. This can reduce the energy used by 25 percent; turning off the computers at the end of the day can save an additional 50 percent. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: silver; font-family: Arial"><span id="more-53"></span></p>
<p></span><span style="color: silver; font-family: Arial">2. <strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Encourage communications by email</span></strong>, and read email messages onscreen to determine whether it&#8217;s necessary to print them. If it&#8217;s not, don&#8217;t!</span><span style="color: silver; font-family: Arial">3. <strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Reduce fax-related paper waste</span></strong> by using a fax-modems so documents can be sent directly from your computer, without requiring a printed hard copy and by using a fax cover sheet only when necessary. We will institute training to insure that everyone knows how to do this.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: silver; font-family: Calibri"><font face="Times New Roman">.</font></span><span style="color: silver; font-family: Arial">4. <strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Produce double-sided documents</span></strong> whenever possible.</span><span style="color: silver; font-family: Arial">5. <strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Do not leave taps dripping</span></strong>; always close them tightly after use. (One drop wasted per second wastes 10,000 litres per year.)</span><span style="color: silver; font-family: Arial">6. <strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Install displacement toilet dams in toilet reservoirs.</span></strong> Placing one or two plastic containers filled with stones [not bricks] in the toilet&#8217;s reservoir will displace about 4 liters of water per flush &#8211; a huge reduction of water use over the course of a year.</span><span style="color: silver; font-family: Arial">7. <strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Use paper with maximum available recycled content.Â  </span></strong>OrderÂ business cards, envelopes and letterhead on recycled paper.Â  The paper is from a great company called â€œSave A Treeâ€.</span><span style="color: silver; font-family: Arial">8. <strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Choose suppliers who take back packaging for reuse.</span></strong></span><span style="color: silver; font-family: Arial">9. <strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Instigate an ongoing search for &#8220;greener&#8221; products and services in the local community.</span></strong> The further your supplies or service providers have to travel, the more energy will be used to get them to you.</span><span style="color: silver; font-family: Arial">10. Before deciding whether you need to purchase new office furniture, <strong><span style="font-family: Arial">see if existing office furniture can be refurbished.</span></strong> It&#8217;s less expensive than buying new and better for the environment. Environmentally friendly actions don&#8217;t have to be large to have an impact. Consistently reducing the amount of energy, water, and paper our businesses use can make a huge difference, both to the environment and to our pocketbooks. How much paper would we save over the course of a year, for instance, if you <strong><span style="font-family: Arial">always</span></strong> ran double sided copies? A small thing &#8211; but a big result!</span><span style="color: silver; font-family: Georgia">Â </span><!--/gc--></div>

<p>The former Colts quarterback Jack Trudeau <a target="_blank" href="http://www.wthr.com/Global/story.asp?S=6601791&amp;nav=menu188_2">allegedly hosted a party for Park Tudor</a> high school seniors, providing the graduates with alcohol. But police broke it up, and arrested not only Trudeau, but students, as well.Â </p>
<p>Sherrif Ken Cambell said, &#8220;When theÂ young people at the party saw those officers, they fled, which led officers to believe that there was something illegal afoot. The officers went to the rear of the residence and saw open containers of alcoholic beverages, beer, rum and so on&#8230;</p>

<p>Personally, I think this has gone to far.Â  It reminds me of a group of people in Germany in the late 30&#8217;s and early 40&#8217;s.Â  What do you think?</p></div>

<place w:st="on"></place>Europe have their paycheck electronically deposited into their bank account, thus bypassing the antiquated system of receiving a check and having to make a trip to the bank to make a deposit.Â  However, what most of these people do not realize is that there are 50+ million working adults in the US and Europe and over 1 Billion worldwide that do not have bank accounts and must not only receive their pay in the form of a check, but then must go to a check cashier and pay a fee to receive their cash.Â  These unbanked workers then must purchase money orders to pay bills such as rent and utilities.Â  In addition if they wish to transfer money to other countries they must pay expensive fees, as in the Western Union model. <span id="more-36"></span></font></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">A few companies including FundsTech Corp have developed a program that allows companies that employ the unbanked worker to avoid the issuing of payroll checks and instead make a direct deposit onto a prepaid debit card (sometimes called a payroll card).Â  This is accomplished when an employer issues prepaid debit cards to those employees without a bank account.Â  The prepaid card now acts like a bank account in that funds can be deposited onto the card (such as payroll) and funds can be taken off the card at an atm or through the use of the card when a purchase is made for goods or services. Money can even be transferred to a third party such as a wife, son or daughter at a location virtually anywhere in the world. Even bills such as rent or utilities can be paid using the services attached to the card. The prepaid card can be used anywhere in the world that accepts Visa or MasterCard.</font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">These cards now allow a large group of people to enter the electronic age and no longer need to carry all their payroll in their pocket. And, we are not only speaking about the 50+ million people in Europe and the U.S. but rather<span>Â  </span>the billion + people who are clamoring for such services in places like Africa, China and India.<span>Â  </span>The market potential is estimated at over 1 billion in annual revenue.</font></p>
