Almost every night I turn on the news and hear a story about how unhealthy became our environment. The ice caps are melting, our drinking water is contaminated and even our air is full of dangerous chemicals and toxins. What kind of world are leaving for our children?
Instead of just sit by and do nothing that my family decided to start living a greener lifestyle. is a small start, but we hope that by being a good example, others will follow our lead and working together we can really make an impact.
Therefore, to help you get the ball rolling I put together a short list of green living tips you can practice in the workplace. Be a good example for your coworkers and encourage them to do the same.
1. Recycle as much as possible, including paper, glass and plastic bottles. make sure put collection areas wisely.Many people simply don't walk around the building to fall off their soda cans and newspapers. but if you can make it easier and more convenient for them, they'll be more likely to recycle.
2. Another way to recycle is use refillable ink cartridges in printers and copy machines.As an added bonus, these recyclable cartridges are usually cheaper too.
3. Ditch the styrofoam cups coffee will be sitting in a landfill for generations. instead use a mug of coffee that can be washed and used repeatedly.
4. use email whenever possible and don't print each email you receive.That defeat the purpose!
5. printer paper reuse scrap, rather than throw it in the trash.
6. Replace lights with more efficient lamps and encourage everyone to use power save modes in their computers.
If you are an Office Manager or employer cannot implement these suggestions right off the bat ... otherwise you can try going to your boss and start making suggestions. try to emphasize the financial economics, which the company could see and they can be more open. these simple tips green life may seem insignificant, but if we all make small adjustments to our daily routine can have a huge impact on our environment.
