There are steps you can take to ensure your work environment is greener: make sure to turn off lights, computer monitors and the air conditioning when you leave the office at night, only print when necessary, collect office newspapers and take them to the Humane Society and recycle your printer toner cartridges.
Most work environments are left unoccupied at night, yet leaving lights, air conditioning, and electronics running wastes significant energy and money. To make your workplace more environmentally friendly, it’s important to turn off lights and air conditioning, shut down computers, use energy-saving modes instead of screensavers, switch off monitors, and unplug devices to reduce “phantom power” — the energy electronics consume even when not in use.
