I know it isn't amazing, but the inside is damn amazing.




Microsoft's newest building on its campus in Hyderabad, India (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyderabad,_India) was built as an environmentally friendly structure. Experts at Microsoft Research India developed a project called Digital Green (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Digital_Green&action=edit&redlink=1) in 2008, which aims to educate farmers in India on how to use azolla - an aquatic fern fed to cows, yielding increased milk production.[92] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft#cite_note-91) [93] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft#cite_note-92)
Microsoft has phased out the use of polyvinyl chloride (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_chloride) plastic in its packaging material, due to environmental concerns. Polyvinyl chloride, also referred to as PVC or vinyl, can release toxins into the environment during production and if it is burned after production. These toxins are synthetic chemicals that can be linked to cancer, and issues with the reproductive and immune systems. In six months time, Microsoft was able to eliminate approximately 361,000 pounds of polyvinyl packaging by transitioning to a packaging utilizing polyethylene terephthalate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_terephthalate) plastic (PET). The company continues to research further eco-friendly packaging made of corn starch, sugar, and vegetable oil.[94] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft#cite_note-93)
Microsoft is using some renewable energy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy) sources in its Silicon Valley campus, where the company has installed over 2,000 solar panels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panels) spanning 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2) on top of its buildings.[95] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft#cite_note-94) These panels supply 480 kilowatts of power, generating approximately 15 percent of the total energy needed by the campus and cutting the greenhouse gasses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gasses) that would otherwise be produced to supply that power.[91] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft#cite_note-news1-90)
Microsoft employs a free mass transit system for its 35,000 employees in the Seattle area and shuttles its workers with hybrid cars on its main campus.[91] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft#cite_note-news1-90)
The company uses an irrigation system at its Redmond campus that senses upcoming weather changes, saving 11 million gallons of water per year.[96] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft#cite_note-95) The company has received a silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadership_in_Energy_and_Environmental_Design) program for environmental design.[91] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft#cite_note-news1-90)
Beginning in June 2008, Microsoft has added compost bins in all cafeterias on its Redmond campus, and replaced all polystyrene plates and cups and plastic flatware with biodegradable alternatives. In the first two months after this transition, the Redmond campus reduced its non-compost trash output by 50%.
