….they just signed a 20-year deal to buy power from an Iowa wind farm in an effort to cut pollution.
Kudos to you, Google, for being part of the corporate eco-revolution.

Going green doesn’t have to just be for big companies who can afford carbon offsets, wind power, and eco-friendly packaging. Businesses everywhere can take steps to help the environment and their community.  Take these for example:

  1. Use energy-efficient lightbulbs in your offices. They save on electricity costs and last longer than regular incandescent light bulbs.
  2. Eliminate paper plates and plastic utensils in your break room. Stock up on dishes and silverware from your local thrift store, and re-use!
  3. Did you know that the average U.S. office worker uses 10,000 sheets of copy paper each year? Less than half of all office paper is recycled, and come on people, 87% of us have access to paper recycling programs. Only print when necessary, and recycle every sheet you don’t need!
  4. Purchase refurbished ink cartridges instead of new. This saves money and reuses ink cartridges that would normally go to the landfill. To get a free shipping label to turn in your empty ink cartridges for refurbishing, click here.
  5. Recycle everything you can! Click here to get set up to recycle used cell phones, laptops, and other equipment your business uses and replaces.
