5 Green Business Tips

1.  Power Down Your Electronics

Did you know that Energy Star recommends that you power down all electronics-computer,monitor, printer, and other peripherals-when not in use? This includes unplugging power strips at the end of the day, because they consumer energy even when the equipment is shut off. But be sure to power down all equipment connected to the power strip first.

 2.  Use Both Sides of Printer Paper

Instead of printing a document and throwing it out after we're done with it, we re-use it to print on the blank side of the paper.  You can also adjust your default print setup for double sided prints.

3.  Eliminate a Few Fluorescent Bulbs

If your florescent light fixtures hold 4 florescent tubes... pull two. It hardly makes a difference in the light and uses 1/2 the energy.

4.  Go Paperless

Go electronic with all your monthly bills and statements.

5.  Utilize Recycled Ink Cartridges
