• Turn off your computer when leaving work. Leaving your computer on stand-by mode still consumes significant amounts of electricity, as much as 40% of normal use in some cases.
     
  • Turn off your monitor when you go for lunch or a meeting.
     
  • Make double-sided copies to reduce paper waste.
     
  • Use the size reduction feature offered on many copiers. Two pages of a book can often be copied onto one standard sheet.
     
  • Recycle paper and toner cartridges.
     
  • Once-used paper can also be reused in plain paper fax machines — they only need one clean side.
     
  • If you have to print a document or email, just print the text you need.
     
  • Keep a spare sweater in the office rather than turning up the heating.
     
  • Use timer switches to turn off vending machines and copiers when the office is closed.
     
  • Make the most of natural lighting by opening the blinds.
     
  • Use hand-dryers rather than paper towels.
     
  • Donate your old computer to an organization that will reuse or recycle it. Consult the National Recycling Coalition (www.nrc-recycle.org).
     
  • Reusable bottles and cups reduce solid waste. Bring a coffee mug to work and get a good feeling from both the caffeine and your conscience.
