For regular readers of this blog, you know that I’m all for going green. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but this whole environmental thing seems to have gained some traction in the hearts and minds of the citizens of the world. I’d call this a real movement.

With all three major presidential contenders calling for caps on greenhouse emissions, it’s gotten to the point where people can either choose to be green or they will soon be forced into it.

So here’s a few suggestions from a recent Entrepreneur.com article that suggests some practical ways to join the movement:

1. Work from home or ride a bike.
2. Go Digital—No more paper.
3. Use recycled paper and print on both sides.
4. Set computers to go on standby or hibernation when you’re gone.
5. Use daylight in your work environment, and when you can’t use LEDs.
6. Have real plants instead of fakes.
7. Ditch plastic utensils and plates. Use real plates and use a dishwasher.
8. Drink shade grown organic coffee.
9. Promote the fact that you’re a green company.
10. Avoid clothing that requires dry cleaning.

These are just a few great examples of how you can do business while being good stewards of your planet. You’ll notice that many of these require an office that is cutting edge in its communication methods. In other words, stop using that environmentally unfriendly fax machine, and embrace the new generation of fax to email. It’s the future my friends.
