The Eco-Friendly Office of Today
Building a new office is tough enough without considering the environment but if you’ve got a say in the process you’ve also got a responsibility to be eco-aware when construction’s done. Get out there and get your hands in some of the tasks below to save your company and the earth in the long run:
Pick a Provider: If you live in a deregulated area, choose an energy provider that best meets your needs and also cares about the environment. Get Stream Energy Information and research other eco-friendly options before you sign.
Invest in Materials: Eco-friendly materials have a bad rap for being pricey but if you choose carefully you can save a lot of money in the future. Bamboo floors, ergonomic organic chairs and solar lights are great ways to spend more now and cut costs later.
Encourage Responsibility: Whether you’ve got an office of 3 or 300, devise a plan for working together to save energy. Set incentives, talk about turning off machines at night and set some bathroom rules (no wasting water!) and watch everyone pitch in.
