Green Office Tips
In the summer issue of Saskatoon HOME,
there was an article titled
"7 Timely Tips for a Green Home Office." But
why stop there! Here are some other ideas on how to improve your work
space in a green friendly way.
1) Cherish Your Water - While the residents of Saskatoon are lucky
to have a plethora of water at our disposal, it is still a precious
resource that shouldn't be wasted. If you have extra drinking water from
your water bottle, or left over after a meeting, use it to water a plant.
2) Reuse Your Paper Fibers - Did you know that
paper fibers can be used a number of times before they wear out? Buying
paper with recycled content is a great way to get the most of these
fibers, allowing more trees to live a happy, healthy life.
3) Toner Tampering - For documents that are for
your eyes only, save some toner by turning down the contrast when
possible.
4) Fool Proof - Use your "Print Preview" before
printing a document. You may be surprised how many typos you can catch
without printing it first.
5) Sleepy Time - The intention of the screensaver
on your computer is to protect your screen, not save energy. When not in
use, use the sleep mode.
