10 Ways to Go Green |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
1. BE
BRIGHT ABOUT LIGHT |
|
| |
|
|
Artificial lighting
accounts for 44 % of the electricity use in office buildings. We will
make it a habit to turn off the lights when we leave the room for 15
minutes or more and utilize natural light when we can. When needed e
will use Energy Star-rated light bulbs and fixtures. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
2. MAXIMIZE
COMPUTER EFFICIENCY |
|
| |
|
|
Computers in the business
sector unnecessarily waste $1 Billion worth of electricity a year. We
will make it a practice to turn off computers-and the power strip it’s
plugged into –when we leave for the day. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
3. PRINT
SMARTER |
|
| |
|
|
The average U.S. office
worker goes though 10,000 sheets of copy paper a year. We will make it a
habit to print on both sides or use the back side of old documents for
faxes, scrap paper, or drafts. We will avoid color printing and print in
draft mode whenever feasible. We will also use paper, toner, and ink
cartridges we will recycle and buy remanufactured ones. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
4. GO
PAPERLESS WHEN POSSIBLE |
|
| |
|
|
We will make it a habit to
think before printing. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
5. RAMP UP
YOUR RECYCLING |
|
| |
|
|
We will make it a habit to
recycle everything our company use. We will remember old cell phones,
PDA, or pagers. We will place recycle bins in strategic locations. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
6. CLOSE
THE LOOP |
|
| |
|
|
We will make it a policy to
purchase office supplies and furniture made from recycled materials. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
7. WATCH THAT AND (AND HOW) YOU EAT |
|
| |
|
|
We will make a habit to
bring our own mugs and dishware for those meals we will eat in the
office. We will use reusable products. When possible we will use organic
food for parties and events |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
8. RETHINK OUR TRAVEL |
|
| |
|
|
We will make it a habit to
take the train, bus ,or subway when feasible instead of a rental car
when traveling for business. We will use videoconferencing and other
technological solutions that can reduce the amount of employee travel. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
9.
RECONSIDER HOW WE COMMUTE |
|
| |
|
|
We will make a habit of a
carpool, bike, or take transit to work, and/or telecommute when
possible. We will make policies to encourage telecommuting as possibly a
perk to make it easy for employees to take alternative modes of travel
to work and business meetings. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
10. CREATE
A HEALTHY OFFICE ENVIRONMENT |
|
| |
|
|
Make it a habit to use
nontoxic cleaning products. Brighten office spaces with plants, palnts,
plants. We will make it a policy to purchase furniture, carpeting, and
paint that is free of volatile oranic compounds ( VOC). |
