"Green girl Recycling ~ 9 Tips for Turning Your Business Green"

Hello everyone! I found this great blog about recycling stuff, through my RSS feed. One of the blog posts caught my attention, as it had simple but great ideas about recycling. Here they are:

1.    Offer Commuting Incentives – Come up with incentives to encourage your employees to use public transportation or car pool.
2.   Make Telecommuting an Option – Allowing employees to work from home at least one day per week not only increases productivity, but it reduces office space needs and cuts down on carbon emissions. Everyone wins.
3 .  Do an Energy Consumption Audit – Determine the average energy used per square foot in your office and make plans to reduce through equipment modification and use of natural light.
4.   Print Less – Paper comprises about 35% of an average company’s total waste stream. Go digital wherever you can!
5.   Water Conservation – Manage water use…in the kitchen, in the bathrooms, on the grounds.
6.   Make a Green Policy  – Raise eco awareness through company policies and self audits. Hold informational meetings.
7.  Conserve Resources – Consider materials used across the entire value chain…reduce, reuse, recycle.
8.  Packaging – Use as little packaging material as needed and use recyclable and biodegradable materials.
9.  Recycling and Waste Reduction – Anywhere there is a trash can, there should be a recycling bin!

It's a great blog, give it a look:
