Green Tip #1: Fridays at Bo’s

pictures were lost some how….

So to combat the slumping economy, and to do my fair share of saving the mother Earth, ive decided to cut a few costs and find alternative solutions. Running an office is pretty expensive. 6 computers, lighting, A/C.. Last month alone, my electricity bill was around $250. Maybe its because I dont pay the bills back in SF, but I never recall the electricity bill being anything close to $250. So to mix things up and to save a bit on the utilities, I came up with an idea, Fridays At Bo’s.

Bo’s is kind of like the Philippine version of starbucks. In fact, it has a similar look and feel to it inside. The coffee is just whatever, but the main selling point is that most other coffee shops do not have free wifi. The beauty of being involved in a web based business is that you can easily take your work with you, as long as there’s the internet.

What we did was we hogged a litte section of the cafe, brought our own power strip and got right to work. The Bo’s employees didnt mind that we stayed over 8 hrs, just as long as we kept the coffee coming. All in all, I think it ended up being a success because it not only saved me a couple of bucks, its got us out of the house and builts team comradre in the process.

    its a good idea. however the money saved in electricity was probably made up by all the coffee purchases. but its good team building regardless. so its def. worth it.
