Eco News & Site UpdatesGreen Tips of the Day
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.
Avoid "jack rabbit" starts and aggressive driving
Flooring the gas pedal not
only wastes gas, it leads to drastically higher pollution
rates. One second of high-powered driving can produce
nearly the same volume of carbon monoxide emissions
as a half hour of normal driving.
