Officekami

Hello all mobilewarriors! Aha. In less than a week we’ll be celebrating Earth Hour that will be held on the last Saturday of March annually. This Saturday, see all local house turning off their lights for an hour for a change. And since it falls on Saturday, which is non-working day, it is not that beneficial for us, who are working so I was thinking if I could pull an Officekami day, a day where most of mobilewarriors going out, co-working at mobileoffices to save their Office electric.

Now what are the benefit of Officekami day ?

• Save your electricity
• Meet other Mobilewarriors from other profession
• To celebrate Earth Hour, a day before.

Last year during BarcampKL, I’ve stated this in my Mobileoffice presentation

Consider this

You and your department, 10 people, decided to go mobile on every Friday, or working at home

By deciding that, you’ll turn off all the electrical appliances in the office,

Wasn’t that earth day? kinda

What do you think? Read more please.

From my point of view, by using ‘shared resources’ in mobile office, might contribute some effect to the electricity. Imagine that during day, office complex are one of those places with higher priorities in supplying electric. But shopping malls and cafes, operates day and night. So it might be beneficial if a whole bunch of us going to work at these cafes.

If you think I’m correct, and wanna support Earth Hour, the Officekami way, then this Friday, 26th March, come to your nearest cafes and make them your mobileoffices. Invite your colleagues, or even another mobilewarriors. Co-working with some of your friends from different background. Together, we can cut electricity being spend at these electricity-hungry areas. And another one thing, please use public transport, if that’s an easy task for you

Act Now Mobilewarriors!

Looking forward for your participation towards officekami day and also, Earth Hour. Celebrating Earth Hour, the officekami way. This might be the small step before huge or worldwide telecommuting/mobileoffice-ing event (lol I’m must be dreaming). This friday, I’ll be co-working with some fellas from different background. So hope you’ll be doing the same too.

P/S: I’m not sure I’m totally true on this, but I’m standing on my basis still correct me if I’m wrong. An article worth reading – Is Telecommuting Really Greener.

Just checked San Francisco Coffee website, they give 25% discounts for orders made while Earth Hour on the run. Wow!! details here.
