Working Green

You don’t have to be a CEO, the building maintenance manager, or even the manager on your floor to save energy at work. You can fight global warming from your office, cube, or desk. All you need are the smart energy techniques you use at home.

• Use CFLs in your desk lamp or office lighting.
• Put your computer to “sleep” when you’re out or working on something else.
• Carpool
• Open blinds and let nature light your space (letting the sun in can also warm your space in the winter)
• Turn off lights when you leave a room
• Unplug your cell phone charger when you’re not using it.
• Encourage coworkers to think green!

If you are the CEO, building manager or manager, we have some great programs to help you save energy company-wide!
