10 Simple things you can do to Green your Office in the Hudson Valley

1. Turn off equipment when it’s not being used. This can reduce the energy used by 25 percent; turning off the computers at the end of the day can save an additional 50 percent.
2. Use clearly defined recycling stations and encourages your employees to recycle paper, plastics, aluminum, glass, etc.
3. Encourage communications by email, and read email messages onscreen to determine whether it’s necessary to print them. If it’s not, don’t!
4. Find a paper supplier with maximum available recyclable content.
5. Do not leave faucets dripping; always close them tightly after use. (One drop per second wastes over 2500 gallons per year
6. Replace or have your cleaning service replace trash liners only when they are soiled from wet trash or ripped or broken.
7. If you have a water cooler or offer coffee and teas at workplace, encourage employees to bring in a personal mug or glass instead of using multiple paper or Styrofoam cups every time they get a drink or a cup of coffee.
8. Purchase garbage bags or liners that contain at least 10% post consumer used material.
9. Encourage your cleaning company to use non toxic cleaning solutions or methods. If they don’t offer this solution hire The Green Janitor (hint hint).
10. Produce double sided documents whenever possible.
