Earth Friendly Living Tips

Top 10 Simple Ways to be Green' at the Office

Last year, instead of business as usual', we looked at ways we could be more earth friendly. Many green options are also more efficient or save money over time, which is always good for business.

1. Carpool- If you can ride together to work you will use less fuel and also get to know your coworkers. Think of all the time you will have to think of new green ideas while you're riding to and from work together!

2. Reuse and Recycle paper- Buy recycled paper, print on the back sides of faxes or other paper you would normally toss, make notepads from half sheets, and of course recycle all paper products.

3. Recycle in the break room- Provide bins for recyclables and encourage people to use reusable containers if they bring their lunches.

4. Save Water- Make sure your faucets and toilets are running efficiently, fix any leaks or drips and use newer energy efficient models.

5. Turn off lights- Offices or rooms that are not occupied do not always need to be lit up. If you have windows, natural light can be much more pleasant than bright office lights.
