Three Easy Steps to Greening Your Office
Look around your office, and you are most likely to find plenty of printed stuff, from brochures to business cards. Have you ever thought how printing affects the environment? The verdict is simple, if you need to print, go green.
Use green printing
Find a local printer that uses eco-friendly printing techniques. For the huge list of green printing services across the United States, refer to these search results or this directory (sorted by state).
Alternatively you can find a green printing service online - it will print your documents and ship them to your office. PsPrint is one of the best options to consider.
Or you may consider publishing your documents online. The most eco-friendly publication is the one that doesn’t exist on paper at all.
Choose recycled office paper
According to University of Western Australia’s Environmental Services, producing one tonne of recycled paper saves:
- between 10 and 25 trees;
- more than 30,000 litres of water;
- about 30 kilograms of air pollutants;
- 4 cubic metres of landfill;
- 2.5 barrels of oil…
Why not make this statistics public and thus develop your office employees’ green habits?
Positive publicity vs. quantity
Don’t focus on quality: think about positive publicity your green efforts will generate: for example, send out three eco-friendly mail campaigns instead of holding four ones. Your customers and partners are sure to appreciate the fact that you care about what’s to come.
