"Green" is
the new buzzword, and many businesses are now making efforts to operate in a
way that's more environmentally friendly, either voluntarily, out of the
desire to be good community citizens, or under government mandates. The good
news is that many of the measures you can take to help the planet also save
you money. For instance, using Energy Star rated electronic devices and
turning off electrical devices when they aren't in use can save you a
substantial amount of money. Similarly, reducing paper consumption to save the
trees also has a positive impact on your bottom line.
Other environmentally friendly money saving tips include upgrading the cooling
systems in your facilities and using programmable thermostats to automatically
adjust temperatures when the office is empty, using smaller and more
fuel-efficient company cars, replacing bottled water in the office with a
water filter, using energy-efficient light bulbs, replacing old CRT monitors
with flat panels, and even replacing desktops with laptops, which use
considerably less energy.
