In our day-to-day lives, many of us spend more time in our offices than at home. As you can imagine, it is also a place where we have a ton of opportunity to be more green. What’s the best way to get your office motivated to make a difference? An office Green Team! These dedicated employees can get together, and determine ways your office can decrease it’s carbon footprint.
The best way to go about it is to pull together volunteers, and brainstorm. Set up a game plan to do research, come up with ideas, and ways to implement. Here are some topics to get your Green Team going:
- Where can we place paper recycling bings so use is maximized?
- Could we organize an office carpool?
- What are state/township guidelines for recycling (each will differ)?
- Can we switch to non-toxic cleaning products for the office?
