There are lots of ways
you can go green at home or at the office. Going green is a big movement for
those who care about the environment. There are several ways you can be more
environmentally friendly in your daily life, and this blog will look at ways
you can go green and help reduce your carbon footprint.
● At Work - At the office, you can make an effort to be greener by configuring your printer to print on both sides of the paper, cutting down on half your paper use (and costs!). Also, if you’ll be away from your computer for more than 20 minutes at a time, put it in “sleep” mode to conserve energy.
● Running Errands - Bring your own reusable grocery bags to the store with you. Not only will this reduce the waste of one-time-use paper and plastic grocery bags, but it might save you some money, too! Many grocery stores and retailers offer a small cash back reward on your purchase for bringing your own grocery bags. According to the EPA , recycling 10 plastic bags can save enough energy to run your laptop for 3.4 hours!
● Around the House - Completely unplug all electronics when not in use, or before you go to bed at night. Even when your electronic items are turned off, if they’re plugged in they still draw electricity. Switch all your old incandescent lightbulbs to LED bulbs or Energy Star-rated CFL’s. Making the switch to energy efficient lighting will not only help out the environment, but it will save you money on your electricity bill as well!
● Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - Always recycle items in your home or office that can be recycled. Plastic water or soda bottles, paper, cardboard, aluminum cans, and glass can all be recycled. You can also repurpose waste, like cleaning out an empty glass food jar and reusing it for storage of other items like bolts or bobby pins. Do you have a lot of plastic grocery bags lying around the house? Use them to line smaller trash bins, like the one in your bathroom, instead of buying trash bags.
Another way to go green while simultaneously ridding your home or office of unneeded items is to hire Junk Recyclers LLC.
