Most of us know how important it is to think about how our everyday lives effect the environment, but often we feel we just don't have the time to make some of those changes.
Here are some changes AT WORK that you can do to make your world and hopefully your office a little greener.
1. Ride your bike to work or ride your bike to the train station. That will cut down on CO2 emmisions and more importantly it will lower your blood pressure.
2. At the water cooler eliminate plastic or paper cups. Have your employees bring in their own water bottles.
3. Be a telecommuter. To cut down on the pollution caused by your daily commute, find out from your employeer if working from home is a possibility. Email and cell phones make this possible.
4. Have your employeer conduct an energy audit. The audit will show problems, that when corrected, can save money.
5. Turn off the lights in unused rooms!
6. There is no need to keep your computer screen running if you're at a meeting or at lunch. Turn it off if your not using it.
7. Use sensor hand dryers in the bathroomss. Throw-away paper towels are a major waste of paper .
8. Switch from those old light bulbs to energy saving fluorescent light bulbs. They use less energy and last longer.
Do you know of any other ways to save energy and reduce waste at work?
Let me know!
