How Your Business Can Help the

Environment and Save Money?

Let There Be Light: To begin with,

incandescent lights waste extreme amounts of

energy and hike up your monthly bill. They

also do not last. Compact Fluorescent Lights(CFLs) are better.

Ditch the Disposables: Paper plates and

plastic cutlery generate enormous amounts ofwaste. Plus keeping disposables in stock

means constant trips to the store to buy more.


5/13

Go Paperless: Take the paper towels out of the

restroom and install a hand dryer.

Install Low-Flow Toilets: Low-flow toilets can

save nearly two gallons of water per flush.

Filter, Dont Bottle: Bottled water is expensive,

horrible for the planet. Those huge water jugs

you have delivered to your office arent so

great either, so install a water filter.
