How Your Business Can Help the
Environment and Save Money?
Let There Be Light: To begin with,
incandescent lights waste extreme amounts of
energy and hike up your monthly bill. They
also do not last. Compact Fluorescent Lights(CFLs) are better.
Ditch the Disposables: Paper plates and
plastic cutlery generate enormous amounts ofwaste. Plus keeping disposables in stock
means constant trips to the store to buy more.

Go Paperless: Take the paper towels out of the
restroom and install a hand dryer.
Install Low-Flow Toilets: Low-flow toilets can
save nearly two gallons of water per flush.
Filter, Dont Bottle: Bottled water is expensive,
horrible for the planet. Those huge water jugs
you have delivered to your office arent so
great either, so install a water filter.
