During 2008, Doe-Anderson collected more ADDYs at the local, regional and national level than at any time during our last eight years (36 in total), including 33 awards at the local ADDYs (as well as Best of Show and two Best of Category awards), 2 awards at the Regional level for America’s Native Spirit web site and for Knob Creek Small Batch Direct Mail, and the NATIONAL SILVER ADDY.

Doe-Anderson made a concerted effort over the last three years to focus on the quality of our creative product, which has made us a reliable favorite both at the award shows and on the new business front.

They say that in life, it’s the little things that count. The little things that can make a big difference. Well, this couldn’t be more true when it comes to the environment.

Doe Energy is doing their part. Won’t you join us? Every week we’ll have a “green tip” of the week posted on the water cooler. It will not only help us to be more “green,” but we just might save a little green as well.

Green Tip of the Week:

1. Turn your lights off when you leave the office in the evening, or if you know you’re going to be gone an extended amount of time.

2. Try keeping track of how much paper you use.

3. Don’t use disposable stirrers. Just pour in your sugar and milk first and then add coffee. Each year, Americans throw away 138 billion straws and stirrers, enough to make a giant straw statue—twenty times taller than the statue of Liberty.

4. Don’t get caught with old dryer sheets in your pants, or in the trash. Reuse them once your laundry is done. In addition to preventing static cling, they make great dusters and removers of pet hair from furniture.

5. Avoid using rubber bands if you can. About 3/4s of rubber bands are synthetic, made from crude oil.  When these are incinerated at the dump, significant health effects can result.

6. We go through 380 billion plastic bags a year and only five percent are recycled. Recycling plastic bags produces lumber that can be used to build patios and frames, so find out what types are recyclable and where/how to recycle plastic bags near you. 

7. Try to use space fans rather than air-conditioning.  Air-conditioning accounts for the second highest electricity (approximately 15 percent of total consumption) in commercial buildings.
