Ways that we are green, lime green:
- telecommute often using the internet or conference calls
- walk, bike or take public transportation to work more days than driving
- belong to zipcar.com
- electronic mailings for our client billing and announcements (vs. printing + snail mail)
- reuse paper (last year we only used one box of paper!)
- buy recycled supplies
- recycle our cell phones (donate to a good cause!)
- purchase electronics with auto power down (and remember to turn everything off at the end of the day!)
- shop with our own bags
- receive e-bills instead of mailed bills from our vendors and utilities
- turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth and take shorter showers
- support local farmers, by shopping at the farmers markets
- use ceramic cups - no one-time use cups here
- change incandescent light bulbs to fluorescent bulbs
- turn the thermostat down by three degrees during the winter/turn the thermostat up by five degrees in the summer
- sweep the carpet each week instead of using the vacuum cleaner
- combine all errands for one day each week
- unplug all charging devices when not in use
and hey, our corporate color is green, lime green (HEX CODE: LIME)!
Overall our goal is to reduce, reuse, recycle and buy smarter.
And we hope you will join us!
