Eco-Friendly Office
Make your office a more environmentally-friendly place
The office is a hard place to bring environmentally-friendly practices into. You go through paper like nobody’s business, you’re already (most likely) commuting by car, and the amount of waste thrown away during the day by EACH office worker is staggering. But, with a few tweaks, your office can be running a little greener:
Environmentally-Friendly Supplies
Office supplies have come a long way from the boring old paper clip (shit guys, I have GOLD paper clips. They’re bougie as fuck). Now, you can get paper clips from recycled metal, FSC paper, pencils made from recycled newspaper, or ones that have seeds in them!
Change out your regular office supplies (once you’re through with them) for more eco-friendly options. Re-use scrap paper for draft copies, instead of killing a tree just so you can edit a print copy. I would say don’t print it out to edit, but I know the struggle. Editing online is more annoying and time-consuming than inking up 30+ pages with notes and revisions.
On the major plus side, by re-using scraps for draft copies, you’re saving your company money on buying paper. And, ways to save money is always a good thing to bring to the boss.
