Discuss with your employees how public transportation, driving a hybrid vehicle, or biking or walking to work can make your company greener (and reduce the individual carbon footprint of each employee as well!) The easiest way to go green during commuting is to avoid driving whenever possible.  If you have a particularly high percentage of employees who use alternative methods of transportation to commute to and from work, it will help demonstrate your commitment to environmental care.  If public transportation isn't available in your area, encourage carpooling. You can also incentivize carpooling by creating carpool-only parking spots. In order to truly become a green business, you will need to get your staff on board with your green goals. To get your staff on board, you need to make green thinking a part of your company culture.  By doing this, you'll have both a motivated team and some evangelists who will take the greening further than you can do alone. Staff engagement is vital for long-term success and they can help to spread the word to other staff, clients and through networks.  Explain to staff what is hoped for by way of continual improvement. Make sure that they all understand the commitment to continual improvement and agree to contribute in any way possible. Encourage participation in community activities that make the surrounding area a more pleasant place to live (this can include activities such as river clean-ups, establishing a community garden, or planting trees along a stretch of highway) and recognize those employees who choose to participate. Choose people already interested in this change along with those who have the power to implement changes. Ideas need to be tested in this environment, so even a few naysayers can be useful as sounding boards. Encourage this committee to meet on a regular basis to track progress and discuss future greening practices.  Encourage brainstorming on ways to make your business greener. Incentivize the best ideas with awards or accolades. Appoint one green evangelist per department or area of your workplace communicate the committee's ideas, information and decisions and to generally rally support for greening the business. Listen as avidly to the complaints as the praise. This will help you know what is and isn't working. Set tangible goals that should be reached in a reasonable amount of time in order to stay on track with your green business strategy. Consider providing a green fund for specific areas to use when implementing their own departmental solutions. However, be sure that the idea benefits the whole company in a way you consider appropriate.

One-sentence summary -- Encourage use of public transportation. Get your staff on board. Create a committee for greening your business. Get feedback from staff about green changes. Assign specific greening tasks within a set time frame. Provide a green fund.

Q: Zooey has said she likes bangs because “they're cute.” She wears bangs in different styles. Bangs are her most signature look.  She's worn a blunt fringe and softer bangs, so play with both looks. Bangs set off her beautiful blue eyes. This is very, very important if you want to look like her! Zooey has been called the “queen of bangs.” She uses them to make a statement.  Blow dry your bangs straight down, and then use your fingers to dry the hair back and forth across the hairline. Then take a round brush, and blow dry straight out from the hairline.  Then take the round brush, and blow dry back away from the face, to give the ends a small bend. She's normally thought of as a brunette, but Zooey has dyed her hair blond for movie roles. She usually wears her hair medium length, several inches past her shoulders.  Zooey has been quoted as saying “blond hair softens me a bit” but has also said she didn't like blonde hair. However, she is most commonly seen in dark brown hair. “I've always felt like a brunette with bangs,” she has said.  At times, she's accented her dark brown hair with amber highlights that provide additional depth. Her hair is so dark brown it almost has a black sheen, usually. She generally puts a few loose curls into the bottom of her hair, while leaving the bangs natural looking.  Use a large-barreled curling iron to create the looser curls. Zooey says she usually lets her hair dry naturally before applying heat to it.  She has some natural wave in it. Then, she uses a curling iron to add a few curls in.

The decade is her key inspiration. Skip on the hair products. She has said she doesn't like feeling of hair product weighing down her hair.

Article: Remember, menstruation happens to all girls; in fact, it even happens to some female animals. The important thing to remember is that the apprehension you are feeling will lessen over time.  Know that your dad is mature enough to handle "the period talk." As an adult male, your dad not only knows what a period is, but has probably been expecting to have this talk with you for some time. Your dad may be slightly embarrassed as well. Take comfort in knowing that you're not the only one trying to get a handle on your emotions. Understand that your reaction is a normal one. Starting your period can be both confusing and emotional. Sometimes the easiest way to approach the situation is to just say, "Dad, I got my period." Keeping it brief and to the point will help you to avoid becoming emotional. Instead of building up to a big sit down conversation, try approaching the subject during down time such as when watching television or eating dinner.  By being direct, you avoid confusion and open the lines of communication between you and your dad. Your openness may ease his discomfort and he may become a valuable resource for information. Sometimes it's easier to write words than to speak them. But what happens if you can't find the right words to say or write? There are scripted notes online that can be addressed to anyone and that allow you to ease into the topic. With titles like "guess what" or "we need to talk" it sends a clear message to dad without the awkward talk.   The great thing about this option is that it informs your parent, but puts the responsibility of initiating the conversation on them. Be sure to put the note in a place where your dad is sure to find it, and make sure he'll find it at an appropriate time. Giving the note to him when he's running out of the house for work isn't the best option. Sometimes it's just easier to talk to a female about female problems. If you don't have a mother or older sister around, tell your dad that you need to speak to a female about "female issues" you are experiencing.  Your dad may become curious or worried at this point. You can ease his curiosity by simply stating "I started my period and I would rather talk to a woman about it." You can make your dad feel like part of the process by asking for his advice about who to go to for help. As someone who is in charge of your healthcare, your dad will probably ask why you need to visit the doctor. At this point you can inform him that you are having a personal issue. This will either open the door to further communication or give your dad a clue that something is going on.  Your doctor is not only a great source of information, but they can also assist you in telling your dad about your period. A close alternative is the school nurse. You can always get feminine products from your school nurse while you're figuring out how to tell your dad. But don't hide it from him for too long. It is definitely something for which you don't have to be ashamed. What happens if your dad isn't someone you can trust or if he is embarrassed by the situation? You can always choose to confide in a trusted confidant like a family friend, relative, or a trusted neighbor.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Don't be embarrassed. Keep it simple. Try a pre-made note online. Ask to talk to a female you both trust. Ask him to schedule a doctor's appointment for you. Talk to someone else.
