Reported by: Rob Collins Thursday, Aug 28, 2008 @10:57am CDT Many businesses now realize an environmentally friendly workplace can actually boost the bottom line.
Plenty of businesses are selling environmentally friendly products to make some green- and upgrading old technology inside the business is beneficial to both seller and worker. Companies are changing out the light bulbs, and some are using recyclable materials for the work space, and others are looking to mother nature for a little help. "One of the simplest things is replacing any incandescent light with fluorescent bulbs. Insulation, heating and air conditioning is one of the biggest costs for a business." Just be conscious of every aspect of your business. Ask yourself: "Can I use a greener product?"- whether it be in the bathrooms or in the kitchen. And look at the of cleaning supplies you use. Some other workplace upgrades to consider are: Low-flow toilets, green roofs, and solar water heating. And of course don't forget about the computers. Be sure to use their energy-saving settings, and turn them off at the end of the day. |
