Here at Noam Design, we have a long history of making consistent efforts to create a work environment that is as “green” as possible, minimizing our impact on the environment. In fact, we’re the first result on Google when you look for an environment friendly web design company in new york, or any similar search query.

However, it’s been a while since we reminded everyone how important it is to make environment friendly decisions, and apply them every single day. So in honor of Blog Action Day 2009, I decided to post here a few practical guidelines that relate to the day-to-day activities in any workplace: (more…)

Our New York Web Design Company is located in the heart of the city, right by Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. Scattered inside New York City’s boroughs are neighborhoods, and scattered inside of them are districts: one-to-three block areas that sell one item almost exclusively. The Diamond District is up on 47th St. between 5th and 6th Ave. The Garment District is tucked below Times Square, in the high 30′s between 8th and 7th Ave. Noam Design itself sits in the midst of the fur district (but that’s probably whole other blog post).

Two blocks south of us is the plant district, which Noam Design is only just beginning to take advantage of. Plants in offices are nothing new, but how many tech-centric companies do you see trying to literally go green? (more…)

Web design companies can make a difference on the planet. Every time we make a positive choice, we can make a huge difference not only on our immediate environment, but even on a much larger scale.

Let me give you one small example. When thinking about the recession and its consequences on some people, you might dab a few tears with a facial tissue. Or since you want to come to work even when you’re sick, you might use the tissues in the office to deal with a runny or stuffed-up nose. But the tissue you reach for can make a difference! The Natural Resources Defense Council has calculated that if every household in the United States replaced just one box of conventional facial tissues (175 count) with 100% recycled ones, together we could save 163,000 trees for our children’s world. Many of these trees would be valuable virgin wood. Saving forests helps reduce global warming. (more…)

Web design is an industry that may not generate as much pollution as some other fields. However, since its inception, Noam Design has made continuous efforts to be a role model eco-friendly company, reusing material (such as bags), reducing waist, recycling, and more. All of our computers are Energy Star compliant, all of our paper is made out of 100% recycled paper, we use reusable mugs and ceramic cups instead of plastic cups, the furniture we use is environment friendly, etc. We try to make our offices and practices as friendly as possible for the planet.

We at Noam Design believe that U.S. businesses must play a key role in the protection of the environement. We have joined other environmental leaders in contributing to effective strategies for combating climate change and other effects of pollution.

From the very beginning, our team has been an eclectic mix of personalities and different backgrounds. But we all share a deep respect for the world outside of the virtual marketplace that we work in. And now, more than ever, we are concerned about the planet that we live in and what we can do to ensure a clean and beautiful future for the next generations.  Already having a strict attitude from the onset, Noam Design has decided to do more and to encourage our clients, partners, and competitors to do the same.
