Hug a Tree. Or an Office Plant.

Recycling. Turning off the lights when you leave a room. Not leaving the water running. Carpooling to work or taking public transportation. At the office, it's easy to forget about going green, so here are some quick reminders--and green office products--that will help us be kind to our Earth. 

• Though technology has changed the office environment to a mostly digital atmosphere, some industries still use A LOT of paper. And there are some perhaps, more senior leaders who seem to be stodgy and stubborn in switching to digital. But before printing something, I would challenge you to try sharing it digitally. Use Google Drive or the comments feature in Word!
• Recycle ink cartridges/old devices. Chances are your building has a recycling program or at least the ability to recycle old phones, monitors, equipment, etc.
• Select environmentally friendly products (see below) for your work home. If you can't select the products, encourage your company or whomever does the ordering to make Earth-friendly choices.
