Go Green Guide

Ways to Go Green at Work.

  • Make it a habit to turn off the lights when you're leaving any room for 15 minutes or more and utilize natural light when you can.
  • Print on both sides or use the back side of old documents for faxes, scrap paper, or drafts. Avoid color printing and print in draft mode whenever feasible. Buy chlorine-free paper with a higher percentage of post-consumer recycled content.
  • Think before you print: could this be read or stored online instead?
  • Recycle toner and ink cartridges and buy remanufactured ones.
  • Shred old paper to use as packing material, and save and reuse old boxes.
  • If you don’t have a recycling station at work for paper, magazines, cans, bottles, etc, get a few bins and post recycling guidelines above them.
    Send company updates through email instead of on paper
  • Get your check directly deposited.
  • Bring your own mug and dishware for those meals you eat at the office.
  • Get a plant and place it on or near your desk - plants absorb indoor air pollution and increase the flow of oxygen.
