Green Your Operations

Take a quick look around where you work. There are bound to be lots of opportunities to save energy and reduce waste. We're here to help you figure out how.

  • Save Energy

    • Use an energy efficient computer with energy management settings, in addition to other energy-saving electronics and appliances.
    • Turn off and unplug items when not in use. Mobile device chargers, for example, use up electricity even when they're not charging your phone or PDA.
    • Ask your utility if you can opt in to use clean, renewable energy.

  • Reduce Waste

    • Recycle. Check your city or county website for programs in your area. Many localities offer free pick-up of items you wouldn’t expect, like furniture, computers, and other equipment.
    • Print only what you need.
    • Save and reuse packing materials that you receive. If you're concerned that buyers might react negatively, let them know that you're reusing packing materials to help the environment; some probably won’t even notice, and most will appreciate it.
    • Before throwing something away, think about donating or selling it on eBay.
