Green Office Tips
• Use both side of all of your office paper, recycle it when you are done, and use office paper made from
   recycled material.
• E-Mail, circulate, or post memos rather than photocopying for everyone.
• Use post-it fax notes or a laminated cover sheet for faxes.
• Create a newspaper and magazine exchange within your office. Use presentation software or dry erase
   boards for presentations rather than flip charts.
• Use undated, erasable wall calendars
• Set-up a “Reuse Area” in your workplace for office supplies you no longer need.
• Donate old office equipment to a charity
• Use rejuvenated toner cartridges, mechanical pencils, refillable pens, refillable tape dispensers,
   and reusable coffee filters.
• Promote wasteless lunches in your workplace.
• Reuse packaging supplies. Select suppliers who use recyclable packaging.
• Use reusable mugs, plates, and cutlery in your lunch room.
