Eco News & Site UpdatesGreen Tips of the Day
Do not use the tumble dryer
Tumble dryers use a lot of power, instead dry clothes naturally on a line or on an indoor clothes horse.
Provide paper recycling
In the office put a paper recycling receptacle next to every printer, copier and fax
machine so that employees can deposit unwanted paper in them. Discuss
recycling with your cleaning crew or appoint a person to bring your
paper to a recycling center each week.
