employee, whether your office is green
already or still waiting to see the light, some practical steps can lay the groundwork
for a healthy, low impact workspace.
Digitize
- Send emails instead of paper letters
- Review documents onscreen rather than printing them out
- Can also convert to pdf for paperless document sharing
- Keep files on computers instead of file cabinets
Dont be a paper pusher
- Look for recycled paper with a high percentage of post consumer content and the minimum of chlorine bleaching
- Try to choose printers and photocopiers that do double sided printing
Use green materials
- Use biodegradable soaps and recycled paper or cloth towels in the bathroom and kitchen and provide bio degradable cleaners for custodial staff
- Start with good furniture,good lightning, good lighting, and good air
- Furniture can be manufactured from recycled materials as well as recyclable

Lunch Time
- Bring your lunch to work in a cloth bag
