A
couple of years ago the environmental movement of the century began and rapidly
began to gain prominence. As the movement took off, many different companies
decided to hop and board and “go green” in many ways around the office.
Some
companies contributed to the movement by beginning recycling programs to reduce
waste and others installed energy saving appliances and re-designed their offices
to include more environmentally friendly products. Some offices decided they’d contribute
by taking better advantage of natural lighting.
You
may be thinking do these changes actually make a difference? And the answer is,
yes. The U.S. Green Building Council reported that on average, buildings that
decided to “go green” experience 30-50 percent reduced energy use, 35 percent
reduced carbon emissions, 40 percent reduced water use, and 70 percent reduced
solid waste!!! It has also been reported that “green” buildings make employees
feel physically better and boost employee morale!
Will
you make your company a “green” one? What changes can you incorporate? Have you made any changes yet? Let us know on
