Its becoming easier and easier to go greener in the office these days, so I have put together 10 top tips for this blog.
- Print double sided in the office where possible.
- Use light bulbs that are energy saving they can make quite a difference.
- Switch off lights when they are not needed.
- Computers and monitors are turned off when not in use & use the energy saving mode feature that many monitors have
- Our ink cartridges are recycled and can be sent off for more recycling when they are empty.
- Car Pool in the office for business journeys and start car share schemes for staff to make journeys to and from work.
- Office waste paper is segregated and collected for recycling along with our vehicles waste paper.
- Online selling & email campaigning is better than reliance on a sales force and it reduces energy usuage by huge amounts.
- Support Fair Trade products. Great Tea, Coffee and Hot Chocolate is available in supermarkets, in particular the Co-op.
- We use email whenever possible to communicate rather than fax or letter. We even send our invoices by Email.
Write an Environmental Policy, ours can be viewed on our website www.arrowlighthaulage.co.uk
Sounds good but don't want to do it yourself? Appoint an Environmental or 'Green Champion' to look after the green stuff, you will find its saves you lots of the Green Stuff in the long run!
