Go Eco at the Office
Environmental living doesn't begin and end in the home, it also extends to the workplace. Here are a few tips on how to make the office more eco-friendly.
Re-usable coffee cups:
Many people need a billion doses of java to make it through office life these days? You already know the facts on Styrofoam and paper cup waste, so why not bring in a reusable mug to work as well? Ask your buddies and co-workers to do the same, or better yet, buy a bunch and hand them out.

Explain to the big cheese the benefit of these babies. She'll love you for saving her money, and the environment will thank you too.
[Back to top]Print on recycled paper:
The average office worker goes through about 10,000 sheets of paper every year. By switching to 100% recycled paper (for both printing and photocopying), you can save about 7,000 gallons of water, 4,100 kilowatts of energy, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 60 pounds of air emissions and 17 trees for every ton of paper.

If you can commit to it at home, why not at work? Make it a habit of having a big recycling bin and a small garbage bin to ensure anything that can be recycled is.
