It would be better if they could be refurbished. Furniture in offices should be made to be last longer especially computers and other electrical gadgets because they have to be scrapped.

Look at the weather around the world this year, its been crazy. I feel that buildings should be built in an environmentally green way and we have to start using bikes, walking more. I have been trying to walk to work and its great when its a great day, but when it rains I get to work sweaty and my clothes smell. The other alternative is to have better transport for the public. I also believe office building should go back to the using opening windows. Most modern office buildings use air conditioning which wastes alot of energy and I dont think recycling air in an office is good for ones health. So all for green.

I know SO many people that have said to me when I told them about biking to my job 35 minutes away....I would do that, but I can't be at work all day all sweaty and gross. I found that taking a shower before I rode meant that I could towel off once I got to work, and I didn't smell (bacteria, which takes time to build up, is what creates body odor), but most people aren't comfortable with that. It's very cool that the company thought of that! Also, recycling 85% of construction waste! That's really amazing- I've read that a huge percentage of landfill space is taken up by construction detritus. Having showers at work greatly increases people riding bikes, it’s true.
