With everyone and everything going green, why not go green at work too? It's not as hard as you may think. Just a few adjustments and your office is on its way to being green!
- First, think about paper. Buy recycled paper and paper products. Not sure how to tell? Just look at the package and it will say if it's recycled or not.
- Instead of purchasing new furniture, try hunting for treasures at yard sales or resale shops. Or if you have time, just give your old stuff a face lift! Get creative.
- When you leave the office for the day, instead of just turning everything off, try unplugging everything. It will save energy in the long run.
- Try arranging your office so you won't have to turn on any lights during the day. Have your desk next to a window so Mother Nature can provide the light!
- And last but not least, who says you have to have an electric pencil sharpener? Buy the old timer type, you know, the ones that require a twist of the wrist to sharpen. That goes for staplers too!
