- Use a dry erase board, rather than a notebook to keep track of your daily agenda.
- If you have to print something, use both sides of the paper. Also, make it a policy to buy a 100% post-consumer recycled chlorine-free paper. The annual savings would equal over 130 billion sheets of paper.
- Bring your own lunch. If everyone in the U.S. brought their own lunch, it would save 10 billion pounds of trash a year.
- Carpool, telecommute, ride the bus or your bike. Telecommuting saves almost 2 billion gallons of gasoline each year and on average, people spend 36 hours a year in traffic.
- Use power strips for all computers and office equipment, and make sure the flip off the switch before you leave the office.
- Don’t forget to recycle at work. If your company doesn’t have a recycling area, start one.
- Ditch the plastic water bottles, use a reusable mug or cup.
- The easiest of all, turn off the lights on your way out after a hard day at work.
