Google offers free bikes to employees

I recently found this interesting post on Google Blogoscoped. about Google improving their green credentials.
“Google recently urged their employees to commute to work without the use of a car…they offered every single of their 2,000 European employees a new bike”.
This will help to reduce the environmental impact of travelling to work, and also get the Google name out there on the streets! I think this is a great way of doing the right thing, as they have brought the problem home. Not only do they want to be ‘green’ as a brand, they also want their employees to make a change in their consumption patterns. It may seem like a small change, but these small things make a difference.
This story has also been covered in the Guardian.
Despite it’s reputation for world domination plans, Google has always promoted itself as a socially responsible and green company.
