How Productivity Paranoia Is Impacting the Remote Work World
IT's Easy Being Green
IT's a dirty business, but at Madison Computer Works, we find IT easy to be green!
We recycle nearly all post-consumer computer parts and have been doing that for over a decade...long before it was "fashionable" or mandated by state law.
We will continue to reduce/reuse/recycle whenever possible and do our part to improve our air quality, fight global warming, and tread as lightly as possible upon this planet.
Our industry consumes a great deal of energy and natural resources, both in the creation and use of computing devices. We feel a very strong obligation to mitigate consumption and waste wherever possible. Here our some of our conservation efforts:
2022 - Added a third EV, another Nissan Leaf
Currently 75% of our service fleet is EV and 25% hybrid.2020 - Added a second EV, another Nissan Leaf
Currently 50% of our service fleet is EV and 50% hybrid.2019 - Added our first EV, a Nissan Leaf
2017 - Added a third Toyota Prius c to our service fleet.
2015 - More than doubled our solar PV, with an additional 10kW above our service center.
We now have nearly 20kW of solar PV installed. What our panels don't generate for our use, we purchase 100% solar/wind power.2014 - Added a second Toyota Prius c to our service fleet.
2013 - Purchased a Toyota Prius c.
Currently 80% of our service fleet are hybrid or high-MPG vehicles.2012 - Accepted as a Focus on Energy Trade Ally.

Currently we purchase 100% of our electricity from solar/wind power and generate additional energy from our solar PV system!2011 - Installation of motion/photo sensors and energy-efficient lighting throughout our 8000 square foot facility.
This has lowered our electrical consumption by more than 13%.2008 - Joined MG&E's Green Power Tomorrow program.
