08 Dec 09 Inspire Your Office To Go Green

Going green is a great idea for all of us. The earth provides us with a great home, and it’s our duty to respond by keeping earth as clean and healthy as possible. One way to do that, is to influence your office to be more environmentally friendly. Changing your lifestyle is a great start, but businesses produce much more waste than a person. Influencing those businesses to change is the best way to really start making the world a better place to live.

One way to do that is to start a recycling program in your office. If you don’t already recycle, try putting in a few recycle bins for old papers that you no longer need. Or even better, convert to digital and you won’t need the paper in the first place. By using email to send documents and information, you can eliminate most paper entirely. That’s even better than recycling because you eliminate the need for paper in the first place.

Try to eliminate lights that you don’t need. Lights consume energy that doesn’t need to be wasted. Try using natural light whenever possible in the day time. This way you’ll reduce how long the lights are on, and it’s better for everyone at the office to use natural light. Your eyes will thank you!

When purchasing new equipment, try and influence your managers to buy eco-friendly products. Look to products that advertise themselves to be energy saving alternatives. Also try using power strips around the office. These eliminate idle power currents from lights, or computers not in use. So the company saves money, and you conserve energy. Who wouldn’t want to do both?

Finally, remember when you’re purchasing that new equipment, that your old electronics can be recycled. Electronics waste makes a huge contribution to the heavy metal pollution that’s so prevalent in the environment. By recycling and disposing of these electronics through the proper channels, we can eliminate the harm that they’ve done to the environment, and people.
