Turn off the lights
HSBC, the worlds fourth richest company (with an incomprehensible 1.8 trillion dollars in assets), is making the news by boasting about their newly-acquired eco-credentials. It dawned on them last year that they could boost their profits by automatically switching off desktop computers at night, which is a fantastic move (perhaps they could open source the software?), but it does makes me wonder when they’ll realise that switching off the lights at their 1-million-square-foot, 42-story, Canary Wharf skyscraper might be good for the planet (not to mention their bulging assets) too?
