Top 5 buying tips
Top 5 buying tips
1. Get Rid of the Paper Trail
There’s never been a better time to go digital; e-mail correspondence is quick and easy, cell phones do everything, and publications are expanding their online presences. Find paper-less way to complete each task. A database of documents occupies less space than hard copies and is easily searchable.
2. Overhaul the Break Room
First, make sure recycling options are present and accessible. Next, search for ways to save energy. A power strip where multiple devices can be turned off at once will waste less electricity. Finally, suggest organic coffee, stock dishes to cut down on disposables, and provide filtered water instead of bottled.
3. Share
If every car carried one extra passenger to work, we could save about 32 million gallons of gas a day, cut down on commute times and save plenty of money. Buying in bulk and even sharing takeout orders can result in fewer consumed resources. So look for ways to share the love… or at least the wite-out.
4. Recycle, Recycle, Recycle
Keep your eyes open for opportunities to recycle items or use items made from recycled content. When you’re not going paperless, opt for paper with high recycled content and minimal chlorine in the bleaching. You can find eco-options for office accessories at no more cost and no less style.
5. The Home Front
Working from home may seem like more of a perk, but it can cut down on unnecessary resources, especially transportation. Digital advances are making it easier than ever. Though many employers might not be flexible on this issue, it’s worth a shot to inquire about working from home a few times a month.
