Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Let it dry. Heat set the glass. Embellish your creation.

Answer: Allow the glass to dry for at least 24 hours before proceeding to the next step of heat setting. Stand them upside down on a soft surface such as a folded tea towel to allow them to dry. Try to keep them away from the kitchen or bathrooms, where moisture could affect the drying. If you're air drying, it may need to be left to its lonesome for up to three weeks. Follow the instructions on the paint's label. If you chose the kind of paint that needs baking to be set, you've reached that time. The process is very straightforward and no, your glass won't melt! Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Turn your oven to 350F (180C). There is no preheating required. The idea is to put the glass in a cold oven -- this will gradually increase heat as opposed to placing the glassware in a hot oven, which might cause the glassware to break. Immediately put the glasses on the lined sheet and place in the oven. Set a timer for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat after 20 minutes, but leave the glass in for a further 10 minutes. Then, remove the glasses after the 30 minutes is up. Or, do as-as instructed by the manufacturer on the label of the paints you've used (this is done to make the item washable). Since some of your glasses might be suitable to give away for birthdays and other occasions, you could fill them up with candy, confetti, or birthday horns, etc. They make for great pieces to be used and taken home. Consider signing your name or adding the name of the recipient to the bottom of the glass. Add a dab of glue and secure on a bow. A gift too pretty to be wrapped!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine your ecological impact. Identify practices that require improvement. Set goals for improvement.

Answer:
The first step in becoming a green business is understanding your business's current carbon and ecological footprint. Just as you can calculate your personal carbon footprint (for example, at http://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/), you can also calculate how your company is impacting the environment. In order to estimate the carbon footprint of your company (and to see how it compares to other companies within your sector), you will be required to provide information about your business, including information about your facilities, employees, travel, and procurement to an online website. By knowing your carbon footprint, you can set goals for becoming carbon neutral. In order to become a green business, you will need to identify which of your business practices are in need of "greening." For example, airline flights are one of the biggest causes of carbon emissions in the world. Is it possible for you to implement more efficient travel into your company's business plan? Decide what parts of your business you can reasonably make more "green", and set out a strategy for improvement. You should set goals in regular increments; for example, where do you want your business to be in one year? Two years? Five years? Ten years? You should look to improve more and more with each passing year. Some of the practices that will make your company more green may conflict with your previous business practices. For example, you may be able to source a raw material for a product from a cheap overseas producer; however, in order to be green, you should look to see if you could source the material locally, even if it is more expensive. Realize that you may have to adjust your business strategy and/or budget when becoming a green business.
