How Your Business Can Help the Environment and Save Money?
Let There Be Light: To begin with, incandescent lights waste extreme amounts of energy and hike up your monthly bill. They also do not last. Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) are better. Ditch the Disposables: Paper plates and plastic cutlery generate enormous amounts of waste. Plus keeping disposables in stock means constant trips to the store to buy more.

 Go Paperless: Take the paper towels out of the restroom and install a hand dryer. Install Low-Flow Toilets: Low-flow toilets can save nearly two gallons of water per flush. Filter, Dont Bottle: Bottled water is expensive, horrible for the planet. Those huge water jugs you have delivered to your office arent so great either, so install a water filter.
