Our VP was recently contacted by a hotel manager as well as a hotel guest. They questioned why the most recent delivery of tea bags contained tea bags individually packed in plastic - not very environmentally sound.
When our purchasing department contacted the supplier, they said 'we knew you wouldn't be happy with those bags, so we're developping new bags made of cornstarch, that we hope to have ready soon'.
How 
is it to w*rk for a company with *that* kind of influence?

My company is sponsoring the Swedish Paralympics Team - and oh boy, do the posters look cool!
Three posters displayed here:

):
Will of Iron. Legs of aluminium.
Mental training? Try never being able to walk again.

From the company newsletter:
'Scandic's groundbreaking work on accessibility issues has been recognized by BBC World News - a TV channel broadcast to a global audience of more than 71 million viewers each week.
This weekend BBC World News airs a story on how it is to travel with a disability. The program follows the legendary BBC reporter Frank Gardner who is using a wheelchair after an incident while on assignment in Saudi Arabia in 2004. Scandic Victoria Tower was the choice of the team for a night's stay in the Stockholm area. The seven minutes long coverage features two of our team members....'
This hotel is one of our newest ones that opened last autumn. Since I haven't visited it yet, I'm going to view this.

Drat, forgot to post *when - and I actually meant this as a note to myself, so that I wouldn't have to check my w*rk mail.
BBC WORLD NEWS Saturday at 0330, 1330 and 1830 and Sunday at 0630 GMT it says on our company blog, but GMT+1 in the newsletter
This seems to be a site that can be used to watch it online:
