I believe that we all want to be responsible citizens of the Earth. We consider the impact of our lifestyles on the environment. We want to ensure that our children’s future in this planet is still has clean air to breathe, trees and wildlife abundance and drink clean water. However, we also believe that sacrifices may be too great to “go green” in our own office. I think this is not as difficult as you think.
Here are 3 things where you can do without significant cost or inconvenience but it can make a significant impact to our environment:
- Lights
- Electronics
- Paper
The average U.S. office workers throw out about 150 pounds of paper per year. Manufacture of paper and contributes to the deforestation of the Earth, and America is responsible for 35 million tonnes of CO2 per year. So what can we do? we can buy recycled paper. Make full use of the paper by printing on both sides, and / or paper, which is only one side of printed paper from scratch. Put it in the proofreading and editing on your computer before printing, to reduce the number of copies to make. Reuse files through the new labels over the old ones. All of these changes is not easy to perform, but a large effect.
