WHAT YOU CAN DO!
IN THE WORKPLACE ...
Use Less Paper.
Using double-sided printing and avoiding printing of non-essential documents are two easy ways to reduce paper and copier maintenance costs. Paper that has been printed only on one side can be used for note-taking.
Buy Sustainable Supplies.
From eco-friendly cleaning supplies to recycled paper and fair trade coffee, purchasing items for the workplace presents numerous opportunities to become more sustainable. Look for products that have third-party certifications, such as Green Seal and Energy Star ratings.
Brown Bag It.
Bringing your lunch to work is far more economical than eating out, and it eliminates the air pollution you would generate by driving to a restaurant. Isn't it nice to know exactly what's in that sandwich?
Start a Green Team.
Is your employer doing everything it can to be more sustainable? Talk to your management and coworkers about forming a green team to promote recycling, environmentally preferable purchasing, carpooling and other sustainable practices in the workplace.
