10 Tips For An Eco-Friendly Office
April 22 is Earth Day. This day is set aside to encourage humans to live in an eco friendly way. We have compiled a list of 10 eco friendly tips for your office/company.
- Clean your office or company and donate your unwanted, but still good items, to a charity.
- Use email instead of paper whenever possible.
- Replace normal light bulbs your office with energy saving light bulbs.
- Buy and use office products made from recycled materials.
- Avoid printing documents that could just as easily be emailed, and print or photocopy necessary papers on both sides.
- Place a plant in your office or company premises.
- Conserve energy by turning of the lights, computers and other appliances when out of the office.
- Donate money to your favorite charity (preferably a green cause charity).
- Consider replacing aging desktop computers with laptops instead, which can use up to 70 percent less electricity and generate less heat waste.
- Instead of buying new furniture, consider refurbishing old ones. It may be less expensive than buying new and its certainly better for the environment.
Living in an eco friendly way should not just be practiced once a year on Earth Day. Rather let’s make living in an eco friendly way a daily habit both at home and in the office.
We live in a world where people are very cautious as to how they spend their money and they are very quick to object that “your price is too high”. That is why there will always be a company that will try to sell their product or service at a lower rate than their competitors.
