I was at Ikea again last night and started to notice nuances on the front end side of their business that show that they are preaching green speak. They do a great job at pointing out the little things each of us can do to think and act more consciously about our effect on the environment:
- Notices in the loading zones to Be Green and turn off your car’s engine
- Charging a nickel for each plastic bag at check out
- Recycling of CFL (Compact fluorescent light bulbs)
- Fixing up returned/damaged items and reselling them in the AS IS section for approximately 30% off
