			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new sustainability training tool was launched in January 2012 by <a href="http://www.carbontrust.co.uk/news/news/press-centre/2012/Pages/empowering-employees.aspx">Carbon Trust</a> called the ‘<a href="http://www.carbontrust.co.uk/cut-carbon-reduce-costs/products-services/web-tools/empower/Pages/empower.aspx">Carbon Trust Empower’</a> tool which can be downloaded by businesses free of charge.</p>
<p><a href="http://eco-officiency.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/carbon-trust.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-687" title="carbon trust" src="http://eco-officiency.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/carbon-trust.jpg" alt="" width="158" height="98" /></a>This interactive application allows employees to take a virtual tour of a typical office building to learn how to make environmental improvements. Employees start off about considering how they get to work, then moving to their desk learning about turning off unused equipment, finally they can review options to avoid unnecessary travel. The tool will also create and keep track of individual personal action plans for employees.</p>
<p>If employees took all of their money-saving suggestions, the company could save annually $309 per employee. Some of the savings that they cite;<a href="http://eco-officiency.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/money.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-688" title="money" src="http://eco-officiency.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/money.jpg" alt="" width="193" height="181" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Turning off the computer      and monitor in the evening could save $60 per year</li>
<li>Accepting a 1 degree      temperate reduction could save $6 per person per year</li>
<li>Reduction of paper practices      could save $31 per person per year</li>
</ul>
