How to go Green

1. Have a personal spot for your recyclables if necessary (and encourage others to do the same). Sometimes, recycling while at
work isn’t always an option. If this is the case, then you can set aside recyclable material that you can properly dispose of
later, whether it be at home or dropping it off in a recyclable bin during your commute.
2. Use reusable water bottles and mugs at work. Disposable water bottles are found all over landfills and their environmental
impact is atrocious. With reusable water bottles, you save money and won’t have to ingest the invisible residue that is known
to come from throwaway plastic bottles.
3. Pack your lunch ahead of time with reusable containers. When you buy food during lunch, it’s likely that it will be packed in
a bag you’ll have to throw away. If you have to do this, make sure you dispose of the recyclables in a recycle bin. If you do
bring food from home, pack your food in reusable containers inside of a storage bag that can be reused as well.
4. Buy eco-friendly office supplies. When you buy recycled products, you support a business that values sustainability, and you
are also helping to support initiatives that preserve trees and natural resources.
5. Use non-toxic cleaning products to tidy up. There are all sorts of cleaning products that are based on natural substances
instead of hazardous chemicals that are dangerous to the environment, the user, and harsh on furniture and electronics.
Oftentimes, there are all-natural solutions that will work just as well as store-bought products.
