KILL THE BILL

  • Turn off equipment when it's not being used. This can reduce the energy used by upto 25 percent; turning off the computers at the end of the day can save an additional upto 50 percent, turn off lights in common areas

  • Encourage communications by email, and read email messages onscreen to determine whether it's necessary to print Don't print if you don't have to.

  • Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - Reduce fax-related paper waste by using a fax-modem and by using a fax cover sheet only when necessary, Fax-modems allow documents to be sent directly from a computer, without requiring a printed hard copy, reduce the amount of paper we use, we'll reduce the amount of trees that get cut down. And if you have to use a ton of paper, go the green route and buy recycled office paper.

  • Produce double-sided documents whenever possible.

  • Do not leave taps dripping always close them tightly after use (One drop wasted per second wastes 10,000 liters per year.)

  • Find a supply of paper with maximum available recycled content.

  • Choose suppliers who take back packaging for reuse.

  • Maintain an ongoing search for "greener" products and services in the local community. The further your supplies or service providers have to travel, the more energy will be used to get them to you.

  • Before deciding whether you need to purchase new office furniture, see if your existing office furniture can be refurbished. It's less expensive than buying new and better for the environment.

  • Use Energy Star certified equipment. From your monitor, to your copier to the vending machines in the lunchroom, make sure that all of the equipment you use in the office is Energy Star certified. Use energy efficient lighting as they last considerably longer saving you money in the long run. 

  • Recycling program. Get some plastic, glass and aluminum bins for the lunch room, and put recycling boxes in printing rooms. It's pretty easy to do and it might even show that you have some initiative. That being said, you're going to want to make sure that you don't recycle company sensitive information; you'll definitely want to shred that instead.

  • Bring in your own coffee mug. Instead of getting a new disposable cup each day, bring in a regular coffee mug from home and just rinse it out at the end of each day. This is a great and simple way to reduce needless trash.

  • While this certainly isn't the end of all ways you can make your office more environment friendly, doing many of these things won't really put you out or force you to change too many habits but if each of us would do just a couple of small things to reduce our impact, we could probably do a lot to help stave off the global environmental crisis.
