My company already buys carbon offsets for our air travel and pays a premium for green electricity in each office location, but not everyone recycles their bottles and cans.
Some of the things we have done so far include:
- Collection areas for batteries, cell phones and inkjet cartridges
- Reduced the use of paper plates and cups by using dish and glassware
- Replacement of single-cup coffee machines with machines that produce less waste
- Disposing of electronic waste properly
- Purchasing more environmentally friendly products
- Turning off lights or installing occupancy sensors in common areas and break rooms
We'd like to do more as far as our building management goes, but we're not always in control of our facilities or have the authority to install energy management stuff.
