Further money saving green practices include the use of remanufactured laser/inkjet toners. Their quality has improved dramatically, they're guaranteed and cost less than the OEMs. Replacing regular light bulbs with CFL bulbs and fluorescent tubes with compact fluorescent tubes will save on energy costs. Rechargeable batteries saves hundreds of dollars in replacement battery costs. Refillable pens saves the costs of buying a whole new pen.
Recycling anything and everything that can be picked up at your home or office helps preserve our natural resources, keeps material out of the landfill and increases supply to meet the demand of recycled content products. Again, in most cases, these services are provided at no extra cost.
For the employers and managers, ergonomic and other products that create a cleaner/healthier workplace greatly help to enhance employee productivity and reduce absenteeism. These actions combined with spending a few more cents on the dollar for greener alternatives to existing products, should improve employee morale as well. Get green, be happy!
