Best Eco Stuff

Ok, it’s one thing to move toward living a more eco friendly lifestyle at home but it’s a whole new ballgame when it comes to work. Here are a few quick tips that can get you and your office off to an excellent start.

1. Telecommute! Yep, this is one that is near and dear to our hearts. We love virtual offices AND the added bonus is that they are very eco friendly for a variety of reasons but the biggest one being no traveling back and forth to the office. With gas prices being sky high it’s simply a no brainer. If your employer won’t allow telecommuting ask about compressed work weeks - say work 10 hours for 4 days instead of 8 hours for 5 and then carpool to work.
2. Shopping for a new computer? Get a laptop. They use up to 50%  less energy than a typical pc when plugged in.
3. Distribute those documents you create on your computer via email instead of hard copies.
4. Recycle your old printer, fax and copier cartridges.

So, there you go! Four fabulous green tips to implement in the workplace!
