• Did you know the average office worker in the US uses 10,000 sheets of paper each year? Avoid printing when you don’t have to, and when you do print, try using both sides of your paper when you can get away with it. Shop for recycled paper too if you can. Encourage people in your office to use email and electronic backup systems.

• Bring your own dishware, cups, and silverware to work and do not rely on plastic cups or paper plates. Make sure your office has a water cooler so that employees are less tempted to buy bottled water. Bottled water waste is some of the most extensive waste in the world.

• Stay organized using plastic bins with dividers in your inventory room. The more organized you are, the easier time you will have looking for supplies. When you can easily take stock of what you have and what you need, you won’t buy supplies you don’t need. That saves money and resources, and also protects the environment since you are not being wasteful.
