Want to Green your Business? Here’s how..
Your business must be energy efficient to even be the slightest bit green in any way. Here are five ways to get the greener business we all want.
1. Install and use timers on certain equipment throughout your company’s business. You don’t want to be running the copy machine all the time; you just want it on when copies are made.
2. Use some energy monitors or clocks to show certain energy usage through your business building.
3. Use every-efficient surge protectors. You can even control some of the latest models with remote shut off switches as well.
4. Use some dimming switches on certain lights and also install skylights in areas not needed as much light. You don’t want to be lighting an area where not a lot of people travel through during the day. A waiting room would be a great place for skylights as well.
5. Use compact fluorescents all through your company for the lighting. Tube lighting should be replaced with newer tubes as well.
6. Install programmable thermostats to come on only when your business is open. If you are a 24 hour business, program the thermostat to certain hot or cold parks of the evening and throughout the night.
*Natural and Sustainable Living Tip: Keeping certain trash picked up throughout your yard and the street in front of you house will and can prevent the trash from ending up in the water ways and possible the drinking water supply. It can even help wildlife from becoming tangled in trash or even digesting something they shouldn’t. Every little bit helps the environment as well. Certain trash containers and others do not ever biodegrade.
