Going Green at the

Office

By Nathan Seskin

Use green materials• When you have to use paper, ask

the office manager to buy recycled paper with the least possible amount of chlorine bleaching!

• Go green with refillable pens and pencils, envelopes and cleaners!

• These supplies aren’t more expensive or of lesser quality than their non-eco-friendly counterparts

Cut !down on paper

• Talk with your coworkers about only using the printer when it’s absolutely necessary!

• Try to email things instead of printing them !

• When you do have to print, make sure you use both sides of the paper

Turn off !computers

• Leaving on your electronic devices can be a huge waste of energy !

• Turn off your computer when you leave for the day

Work !from !home

• Working from home reduces your carbon footprint!

• If your office doesn’t have a work-from-home policy, talk to management about allowing it once a week or once every other week
