How “Green” are Your Business Supplies?
Are you organizing yourself to align with the “green” movement sweeping our country...and the world? This doesn’t mean you have to go to the extreme and incorporate some foolish ideas that seem popular but actually aren’t affecting the environment at all.
However, by researching how you can incorporate “green” (reusing, upusing, recycling, etc.) into your business, you may attract more customers and clients. On the other hand, if you emphasize “green to the extreme,” you may turn some people away. You need a balance.
Look into office supplies and see how you can save, reuse, and recycle. Are you being most effective in your use of these items? Are you using those that save on the environment? Are you finding new uses and new products that will be helpful in your business?
Make a list of what you can do and then begin to organize yourself toward “green” in the sensible, not extreme.
For instance, when I don’t need the material in file folders any longer, I recycle the folders, turning then inside out or making a new label. We have accumulated a huge pile of folders, emptied out since I started my 20 minutes per day of organization.
