Bring Sustainability to the Office
Greener homes are in the spotlight these days, but what about the other place where many of us spend huge chunks of our time--our offices? Some simple changes of habit can save energy and resources at work, and these small steps can be multiplied by persuading the powers-that-be at your workplace to adopt environmentally friendly (and often cost-effective) policies.
- Ramp up your recycling. Make it your habit and pass it along.
- Purchase supplies made with recycled material.
- Stop using those styrofoam cups. Bring your own mug.
