What kind of font do you use when printing out documents at the office? A recent news story about a 14-year old who had an idea that would save the U.S. government $400 million, simply changing the font on printed documents. According to his studies, 21 percent less ink is used when using the font, Garamond, opposed to other default fonts. Changing the font on your documents is one of the many creative and fun ways you can be GREEN at work every day. Who doesn’t love a nice cup of coffee or tea in the morning? But, did you know the average coffee drinker throws away 250 cups a year? That totals 58 billion cups thrown away every year. I LUV having a cup of hot tea in the morning. I leave a mug at my desk so it will be there for me in the morning. Whether you make your drink of choice at home, or fill up at the office, bring a thermos or mug with you. You’ll be cutting waste and feeling even more energized for the LUVly day ahead! The number one rule in an office setting is to always recycle! Though we are in the digital age, the average office worker uses 10,000 sheets of paper a year. Not only can you throw paper in the recycling bin, there are other ways you can reuse paper. As an intern, I like to take a lot of notes and write down task lists. I write them in my notebook often and always use both sides of the paper. You can use both sides by changing default printer settings to print double-sided. If you have scrap paper lying around, those are also perfect for taking notes. Next to our LUVing hearts, computers use a lot of energy in the office. They have a lot to do, and are constantly going. When you’re leaving for the day, make sure you turn off your monitor, as well as your desk lights. What are some ways you go GREEN at the office? Share with us by commenting below!
