Dear Google,
I want to come work for you. I caught a glimpse of a program on the Green channel or one of the discovery channels just a few days past about renewable resources and how things are changing for the better in many places. The program interviewed Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (he just earned my vote) about his stance on the issue of the amount of vehicles and pollution in his great state of California. The Governor laid out a plan that he has been working on to convince people to trade in their gas guzzling autos for better alternatives, such as Hybrid vehicles. The program really touched on everything in terms of how to reduce our carbon footprints in a big way and make our world a better place for our children and their children.
The best part of the program was the part that went into detail about Google. Little did I know, the Google headquarters in Mountain View, CA is the largest solar power system constructed on a U.S. corporate campus and one of the largest on any corporate site in the world. Way to go Google! Google has initiated a better way of living for all of it's employees with corporate cars that are all electric hybrid or completely electric cars. These electric cars are parked in a solar car port where they are plugged in and left to charge throughout the work day and when employees are finished for the day, they simply unplug and away they go. It's AMAZING! I'm in love!
I decided to do a little research and stumbled upon this video, check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YGqY5vmEcg&feature=player_embedded
The video is obviously made by an employee (who I'd love to work with, *wink*) who loves her job as much as I would if I worked for Google, because they are so environmentally conscious and responsible. Yay Google! In the video, the girl talks about how there are bikes that she can ride from one building to another (and during the warm California weather, who wouldn't) for meetings and whatnot. The Cafes' on the campus of her work are all environmentally conscious as well, how freaking amazing is that? I'm drooling. ;)
On the Google Wikipedia site it states that in 2009 Google announced it was going to release a herd of goats to keep the grass of the complex nice and trimmed to help reduce the risk of wildfires and the pollution of the gas from mowers. Seriously, what do I have to do to get a job with Google? That is a wonderful idea... Google people are so smart. Google literally gives their employees time to work on things that inspire them, their own personal fun projects. Perhaps you are familiar with Gmail? Gmail was a "fun project" that just so happened to help Google out tremendously... so, why aren't other companies catching on?
Why does it seem that Google is so far advanced as a company in terms of keeping employees happy and helping out the environment? I am suddenly happier to be a proud user of Google Chrome (and gmail). I look forward to many more years of Google leading the way in innovations not only in the technology of computers but in the fight to make our world a better and cleaner place to live. One day, Google will rule the world... they are already king in my heart. :)
Google is awesome! Think about it.
