Going green is the new buzz word. Many people think that only large businesses can go green. Well, no matter how big or small your business, there are many things that can be done to promote a cleaner environment. Here are my top tips below:
- Turn off office equipment. It doesn’t make sense to leave your equipment on if it is not being used. Leaving your equipment on wastes energy and wastes money.
- Use email. Email is a fast means of communication and also does not waste paper.
- Print documents double-sided. This is also an effective way to not waste paper.
- Use paper suppliers with maximum recycled content. Using recycled material is great for the environment.
- Investigate to see if existing office furniture can be refurbished. This is cost effective and is safe for the environment.
- Use suppliers who take back packaging for reuse. This is yet another great method to improve our environment.
- Check faucets for dripping water. Reducing water usage is great for the environment and great for cost savings for your business.
