Take the 25!

Take the 25! - Chances are you have come across this phrase already!! This is a pretty popular phrase that was used by the Comedian "Goundamani" in a tamil movie. Goundamani plays the role of a "strict" traffic constable in the movie. He is SO strict that he always gets "only" Rs 25/- as bribe..nothing more..nothing less! just Rs 25.

Not sure what he did with all the money he collected! but a group of us in my office think that we ve put Rs 25 to better use. Ya, we are trying in our own little way to make the world a better place to live. Now, that sounds like boasting too much about ourselves, but come on, we need some motivation to go on..right.

So what do we exactly do?! We got ceramic cups for Rs 25 and we use those cups to drink coffee in our office!! Whats the big deal you ask..Imagine an office of 1000 employees with a coffee vending machine available. That amounts to approx 2000 paper/disposable cups (assuming people drink coffee two times a day) a day. If ceramic cups are used instead of all these paper/disposable cups, just imagine the amount of cups that will be saved every month in an office. Now that makes a good amount of paper saving which goes on to save trees.

So the next time, you use paper cup in your office, just remember to "Take the 25, save trees and go green". Make the world a better place to live.
