We know you have the home-front squared away and are earning your Reward Points because collectively, we have saved over 691,000 trees and over 46 Million gallons of oil by our recycling efforts. But we also know that a good portion of the day (or night) is spent at your place of work.
So let's get down to business and green up the workplace with that new 2009 pragmatism. You'll help the planet and make your boss happy at the same time-not a bad thing to do!
Elevator Pitch: We've all got one! Save energy and burn 10 times the calories by climbing the stairs.
Kick the Water Bottle Habit: Bottled water that is-bring a reusable drinking bottle and help us save over 1.5 million gallons of oil that go into making plastic water bottles each year in the US.
Track Your Changes: Unless super important, you can save electricity, ink and paper by redlining those documents and saving as another version. Of course, when you do print, double sided makes the most sense for everyone.
Tone-Up: Ink cartridges take centuries to decompose and oil to create. Recycle or refill those cartridges at a myriad of places to choose from.
Clean Air Coalition: Place 1 plant for every 10 square yards of office space and you'll clean the air you breathe in the office-purity never looked so pretty and you can work on that green thumb of yours.
Myth-Buster: It is actually better for both the planet and your computer if you shut it off each night. Switch to sleep mode during meetings, lunch and water-cooler get-togethers and save even more energy.
Energy Vacuums: Everything in that cubicle is plugged in to a power strip so make it super easy and turn that off each night. Save your computer and peripherals from using up some 40% of energy just sitting idly by waiting for your return.
