Think about everything you use. Strive to reuse, reduce, and recycle. For example, use the other side of the used sheets of paper, don’t simply throw them in the recycle bin. When you make a purchase, bring your own bags. And never buy stuff you don’t need.

Use electricity wisely. Take advantage of natural sunlight. Turn off all computers, printers, and other equipment that doesn’t need to be left on at the end of the day. Make sre all computers/monitors are set to their most energy efficient settings. Use compact fluorescent bulbs.

Make eco-friendly choices.Use only non-toxic cleaning products. There are many brands available on the market, but encourage your cleaning service to use green cleaning products. If they refuce to do it, switch to one of the many cleaning companies that do use environmentally friendly products. Also you can cut down on meat and go vegetarian. It can have a significant impact on the health of the planet.

Consider telecommuting in job offeres. Encourage workers who drive to office to work from home. Those who should come to office on a regular basis may take advantage of carpooling, biking, use of public transit, or walking. In this way employees will cut down on pollution and increase time availability.
