Top law firms vow to make the world green
In an endeavor to play their part well in tackling global warming issues, numerous large law firms went on a 'go green' spree by celebrating the World Environment day with lots of fervor and passion. The law firms including Linklaters, Eversheds, Simmons & Simmons, and Hammonds joined hands in a bid to express their unflinching solidarity toward Mother Nature. Linklaters has designed a website, wherein the attorneys will pledge everyday of the coming six months to do whatever little they can to save the environment. Eversheds has rolled out a 'big switch off" campaign. The rationale behind Eversheds' campaign is to drum up enough enthusiasm in the attorneys to put off computers and lights once they have done with their work. Hammonds has come up with an environmental policy draft to be posted on the intranet, so as to garner support to cut down energy consumption.
