Hello again. In following from our previous blogs about developing an eco office<\/a>, here are some more useful tips to become greener in the workplace.<\/p>\n 1. Video conferencing<\/strong><\/p>\n Instead of commuting to meetings, try to use video conferencing. This is an improving technology and it could save your business lots of money in travel and time costs.<\/p>\n 2. Bring a Mug<\/strong><\/p>\n Take a mug or cup to work for your hot drinks. This is much more environmentally friendly than using disposable plastic cups, and your cuppa is all the more personable.<\/p>\n 3. Car Pool<\/strong><\/p>\n If many of your employees have to drive to work and live close to each other, try to encourage car sharing. This will reduce traffic on the roads in the busiest times of the day, and will help to lower carbon emissions. Around 14 % of all greenhouse emissions come from transportation, so even small steps in this area could make all the difference.<\/p>\n 4. Wind up Radios<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have an office radio that needs replacing, think about getting a wind-up radio. These do not need batteries or access to mains electricity<\/a>. Instead, they need an occasional winding up. This should reduce your office’s energy consumption and give you some exercise!<\/p>\n
