You know...you realize that you truly ARE thinking more about the environment when you bring a banana peel home from work. Yes, I've done that. Often.It only takes a little bit, folks. If all of us did just a few more things a week to save energy et al, we'd find ourselves in a much better place collectively.
Here are some ideas you might try. Come on...join the cool kids.
- Sure you turn off the lights when you leave the house, but do you unplug your cell phone and computer chargers? If you don't, they keep consuming energy even though nothing is plugged into them.
- Bring your own coffee cup to work. Don't use those plastic things by the pot. And if you're a water drinker, do what I do. Bring your thermal mug from home and refill it throughout the day. No bottles for me....
- Turn you computer off when you leave the office. It won't take that long to power up the next day...the e-mails can wait a minute.
- Bring your lunch from home in a reusable container. Not only do you save gas since you don't have to drive anywhere, you also save all the to-go packaging you'd drag back to the office.
- Best tip of all...your carbon footprint is smaller when you turn everything off and go to sleep. Nighty nite.
