Let's Green Our Office

• An eco-friendly working environment promotes well-being, boosts productivity, and reduces the overall carbon footprint. Here are some ideas for going green in your home office.

• We can go paperless - We may be wasting paper without even realizing it. An alternative may be to view documents digitally.

• Utilize reusable items - Ditch the single-use plates and cutlery. This will help reduce your carbon footprint of your meals.

• Turn off your electronics -  Computers, mobile devices, music players, all these consume electricity. Turn these off when you don’t need them. It’ll help reduce electricity and the need to charge them as often as you do.

• Turn off the lights - Remembering to always turn the lights off when you leave the room can also have a huge impact on savings, both for your pocketbook and for your carbon footprint. In addition, you can also use LED bulbs which use a lot less energy.
