You can't be too green

Our old discovery headquarters are already certified by the US Green Building Council as LEED Platinum, but that isn't enough for us at Planet Green. We are packing up our stuff and moving out of town and into our own compound of green, sustainable yurts.

Employees will all bicycle to work, and to save energy, all our writing will be done on Blackberrys and iPhones. Planet Green articles will be redesigned to be punchy and concise and no more than 140 characters for our energy and time saving upcoming conversion to a twitter-only platform.

To keep fit while they work, power will generated by a pedal powered prime mover, stationary bicycles hooked up to generators. What furniture is needed outside of the bikes will be made of cardboard.

Heat will be provided by burning methane produced from our composting toilets.
