Turning your office Green is easy!
It’s easy to turn your office Green - You’ll be amazed when you discover just how much you can do – and how easy it is to do it!
By making small changes to what you do every day you’ll be amazed at just how much energy you can save.
There are small things you can do, that will make a big difference:
If the temperature in your office increases by only 2°C you will create enough CO2 in a year to fill a hot air balloon.
TURN IT DOWN
If you forget to switch your computer off when you leave at night then after a year you will have created enough C02 to fill a double-decker bus.
SWITCH IT OFF
Leave your photocopier on standby overnight and you will be wasting enough energy to make 30 cups of tea.
TURN IT OFF
Talking of Tea – leave your office lights on overnight and you could be wasting enough energy to make a 1,000 cups of tea
Leave the lights on overnight in your office for a year then you will have wasted enough energy to heat a home for almost 5 months
TURN THEM OFF
Have you got air conditioning? Turn it off for one hour a day and after a month you will be able to power a TV for over a year
GET SOME BLINDS OR HAVE A COOL DRINK – BUT REMEMBER
Leave the fridge door open for 30 minutes a day and you will waste enough energy in a year to power a lighthouse for nearly 4 days!
CLOSE THE DOOR
When your current office supplies expire look to replace them with recycled and environmentally friendly green office products.
Did you know that some of the part recycled office products you can obtain include environmentally friendly staplers, hole punches, marker pens and loads of the other every day products you use regularly.
On average offices waste £6,000 each year by leaving equipment on over weekends and bank holidays. Simply turning off your monitor when you go home – and reminding your colleagues to do the same - can make a big difference.
You need to lead by example, but it’s also important to make it a team effort. Ask your colleagues and friends where they think energy is being wasted, and encourage them to think about how they can all use less. Encourage colleagues to consider green office products and keep an open mind about green office supplies.
