• save the trees! Whenever possible go paperless; only print when absolutely necessary, email instead; you may be surprised how much paper you use daily
• Save on paper by not printing your documents out and using Dell cloud computing to help store all your data accessible from any computer anywhere you are at.

• when you do print on paper, use recycled paper
• for Green and Eco-friendly business cards visit MOO.com
• power-down your computer when finished for the day
• play games with co-workers and conserve energy by playing bingo on your mobile
• unplug unused electronics (calculators, printers, etc.)
• use Energy Star office equipment; you can find them here
• walk or bike to work if possible; you'll save money (less gas use and less wear and tear on your vehicle); needless to say the reduction in air pollution
• if you can't walk or bike to work, carpooling is the next best thing

• go to Zimride, The Carpool Community, to look into carpooling in your area
• if possible, work from home; how does zero gas usage sound?; with all of that time at home you'll have to learn how to go green at home
• some businesses are converting to four day 10 hour work weeks; this will cut down on transportation and energy costs
• there are now pens and pencils made from recycled materials; it is better to get refillable pens rather than disposable ones

• add plants to your workplace; they spruce things up and you get a little more oxygen and a little less carbon dioxide
• use CFLs (compact fluorescent bulbs) and LED desk lamps
• use reusable bowls, dishes and cups when eating at work
