Great ARticle. I love that the green products trend is catching on even in the workplace. I’ve done my best to get the office recycling and saving as much power and paper as possible. We never use plastic silverware or paper cups either.

Another great way to help make your office green is to use environmentally friendly office products. Pendaflex has file folders called “Earthwise” that are made from 100% recycled fibers with a minimum of 50% post consumer material.

I use them because I have to have a filing system in my office and I can’t avoid using paper. Hope this helps someone else!

At our office we are doing less driving by having our meetings through teleconferences. Its a great way to save money and time:-)

We can also add up there:

1) Replacing desk lamp bulbs with CFLs or LCDs.
2) Replacing exit signs with LED exit signs
3) Requesting a Duplexer for your printer/s
4) Set office computers on more stringent energy settings, such as hard drive spin down and monitor blackout times.
5) Have the office use a programmable thermostat so the building isn’t being heated/cooled over the weekend when no one is there or if someone forgets to adjust the temperature on Friday…

I like this post. I made a
similar one for the home a few days ago.
