Going green at work
- Buy recycled paper and paper products. look at the package and it will say if it’s recycled or not. Make sure that everyone uses a recycle bin for all paperwork.
- Have your desk next to a window so Mother Nature can provide the light!
- Instead of printing office memos, send co-workers an email instead. Have employees read manuals online to keep from using paper.
- In cleaning the office, use non-toxic cleaning products. Brighten up your office with plants. Not only are they pretty, but they actually absorb indoor toxins!
- Replace your light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs. Not only are they good for the environment, they last much longer.
- Request online material and bank statements as opposed to receiving it by mail.
- In Winter, try to keep your office at a steady temperature. Wear warmer clothes and do not leave the office door open.
- When you leave the office for the day, instead of just turning everything off, try unplugging everything. It will save energy in the long run.
