Some suggestions from Yusuf Salwati
As a manager in today’s work place, one of the first things I notice whenever I walk into a new office is how their resources are being used. Reducing costs while keeping quality is sometimes a delicate balance to maintain, but with little practice, you can maintain both.
Few tips you can use almost immediately:
1- Reduce the use of paper cups, ask each employee to bring her/his own drinking cup.
2- Most new printers come with a tool to help you lower ink consumption, check your printer’s manual.
3- If you work in an office with many computer systems, set the power saving mood on on those computers.
4- Encourage all your employees and clients to use e-mails instead of fax and letters, unless is absolutely necessary.
5- Where applicable, setup offices where there is enough sun light coming through the windows, so you don’t have to turn on the lights during day time.
6- Get into the habit of using ceiling fans or even small desk fans and reduce the use of air conditioning.
7- For taking notes, use your computer note pad program instead of paper note pad.

These are all great ideas to not only help the environment, but also save energy and money. Another great tip is to use rechargeable batteries. With rechargeable batteries, you don't waste money on conventional one-time use batteries. Instead, you can use the same batteries for years to come. For eco-friendly printing, we recommend Green Print, which is a software program that eliminates unnecessary pages or images during printing.
