Green Office Ideas

In no particular order here are some of the most important actions:

  1. Switch off all lights when not in use (especially at night, weekends, holidays)

  2. Turn off all IT equipment and other electrical appliances when not in use
  3. Make sure all electrical items are switched off at the power point when not in use for extended periods

  4. Disable screen savers as they often use more energy than less

  5. Make sure the heating and cooling are not set too hot or too cold

  6. Walk, ride a bike or take public transport to work

  7. Teleconference or use GoTo Meeting rather than make unnecessary trips

  8. Strive to operate a paperless office
  9. Install a water filter instead of purchasing bottled water
  10. Recycle everything you can
