Consolidate sources. If one company's truck can bring most of your office needs, why are several burning fuel to deliver to you? Stop polluting trips to the store to save a nickel on a loss leader.
Buy responsibly. Look for recycled, reclaimable and degradable products. Some cost less, some cost more than conventional products. Remanufactured toner cartridges are 100% guaranteed and cost as much as 60% less than original equipment. You'll save in the end.
Conserve.. every day. Think twice about printing that email. Print on both sides of the paper. Consider a water cooler over bottles. Create a conservation ethic and you'll save more than you spend on greener products.
Recycle.. Nearly 40% of the landfill is filled with paper products. The energy saved recycling one aluminum can will power a TV for 3 hours. Waste removal companies can provide a mixed dumpster for recylables that requires no sorting. Its easy! |
