- Pack your lunch. Bringing lunch means saving money and saving the planet! Be sure to pack your food with glass Tupperware that can be reused and BPA free.
-
Bring your water bottle. Having a water bottle you can fill up at work will keep you from using plastic bottles
than can contain BPA or other harmful substances. Purchase a Yeti or Hydroflask and throw on one of our sleeves and you’ll be set! - Go paperless. If you can- prepare all of your documents online, PDF form or via email instead of sending letters or printing on paper.
- Commute! Work from home, commute with a coworker, ride your bike or take public transportation in order to cut down on pollution.
- Power down electronics. Turn off all devices at the end of the day to ensure you are saving energy. Whenever leaving a room, be sure to turn off all lights when not in use.
Each of these simple steps can make a huge impact in your office and even set an example for your coworkers.
