The workplace is often where green habits are often not practiced. This is easy to change and it can even save money for your company! Here are some green tips for your workplace.
- Unplug and turn off all computers when you leave the office. Leaving your computer on wastes energy at night and why do you need it on when you are not there anyway? They must also be unplugged due to phantom energy loss, and you don’t want that.
- Turn off lights when you leave rooms or go home. Turning off lights will save lots of energy and money, but this is not always done. If people in your workplace get in the habit of turning off their lights they leave rooms for meetings, lunches, and/or when they leave to go home this will save a significant amount of energy and money.
- Reuse and recycle paper from the printer. For internal purposes, turn used printer paper into paper for the fax machine (just turn it over) and for drafts of other prints. Printing on the front and back also greatly reduces paper waste. To encourage people to recycle their paper waste, place a recycling bin near the printer. This will decrease your paper waste tremendously.
- Replace light bulbs and fixtures with Energy Star rated. This could decrease the amount of energy used by about two thirds. This saves energy and money and is a simple step to a more ecofriendly workplace.
