When - Go Green Tips

10 Green practices you might like to consider:

1. Make sure you’re recycling paper, bottles, and cans.

2. Make sure you’re using compact fluorescent or LED lights throughout the office.

3. Get lighting motion sensors for offices, conference rooms and bathrooms.

4. Turn off the lights and shut down your printers, faxes and computers when you leave.

5. If possible, use laptop computers rather than desktop computers. Energy Star models use up to 90% less energy.

6. Ditch the bottled water habit. Americans throw out over 35 BILLION plastic water bottles every year.

7. Stock your office’s kitchen with reusable ceramic plates and mugs rather than paper toss-aways. 

8.  Use recycled/recyclable office papers and other office products.

9. Get a programmable thermostat.

10. Investigate green power options. Many local utilities offer the opportunity for you to pay just a few dollars extra per month to buy “green power” that comes from wind farms and other sustainable sources.
