Get Co-Workers into the Green Act
If you have brought up green changes within your office and also to your co-workers or bosses and got a snubbed look or a no way. There could be other reasons to this other than them thinking they are too difficult to change or too pricey to afford. Here is a great way to get your brush offs to be heard.
If you are attempting to convince your boss you may want to show how these changes are actually cost-saving to the company and very simple to change. Some great examples of this would be refilling the ink cartridges instead of just replacing them altogether. It can save about 50 percent than it would to be just to replace them.
Simple things like shutting down computers at night and printers and fax machines can save your company huge amounts of wasted costs as well. Try to convey this to your boss and other coworkers and let them know the more money the company saves the more money they will possibly receive in return.
Convey to coworkers how important it is for them to bring in their own reusable cups instead of relying on the company’s paper or Styrofoam cups. This can save the company huge cost on their coworkers alone. These ideas may prompt other changes as well. So get the ball rolling.
