Spring Greening the Office?



Spring Greening the Office?
   



Simple Steps for a Simple Start1Green Buildings are in the spotlight these days, but what about those of us who spend huge chunks of time in them? How can we contribute to the greening and healthy cleaning of our office? A few small steps can turn into larger ones especially when the powers-that-be catch on!

• Put your computer on a power strip and turn it off when leaving for lunch, meetings and especially at the end of the day. Stand-by mode still consumes as much as 40% of normal use in some cases. Screen savers, as cute as they are, do not save energy!

• Host and promote “Bring Your Travel Mug to Work Day” and get a good kick from both the caffeine and your conscience. Buy and use a travel mug whenever you visit your favorite java-stop and use it in the office break room, too.

• Spring Clean it Green. “When starting out on your green cleaning journey take the first steps that will create as little stress as possible,” suggests Jack Alderman, SouthEast LINK Green-Clean Guru. “Even if you do not decide who cleans your office, you can negotiate what products they use.” Make room in a closet for the green sealed products you want used and show the custodial staff where they are and what they are for. Sometimes, it is just a matter of the simple act of sharing your passion.

• Bring the outside inside-buy a plant for your desk and one to share. You’ll have cleaner air and a grateful associate. Plants contribute to cleaner indoor air-quality by absorbing indoor pollution.
