A word for any PR types who may be reading -- can you please stop artificially forcing in environmentally friendly angles to your product/service pitches? 80 per cent of them are pathetic.
Like the one last week from an electronic caddy charging company, which is trying to reheat some old press releases by adding in the line that it "reduces your carbon footprint".
Microsoft is a particular offender here, constantly claiming that its 'productivity suites' (which sound like a conference room in a Holiday Inn, by the way) save traveling, save fuel consumption, save the planet, blah blah blah blah blah.
I realise that it's tempting to chance your arm with it, but it just annoys journalists. Some of us, anyway.
