We Could Do This

A gym in Oregon will power its facility in part with electricity generated by members peddling away on exercise bikes. We have an exercise bike in the gym downstairs. On occasion people must use it. Imagination could be riding the crest of the green revolution!

Just think: We could implement a system where power generated on the equipment downstairs was redistributed back into the employee's paycheck, thus reducing our carbon footprint while simultaneously encouraging employee fitness.

(And by 'we' I obviously mean 'people with more authority than Joel'.)

Then we could put some content on our website talking about how environmentally conscious we are and about our revolutionary employee fitness/energy program. Bing, bang, boom.

UPDATE: Information on the exercise bikes can be found here. They go on sale 9/1 @ $1450 and they are only building 50 initially.
