So you know that your company needs to go green. Everyone’s doing it. It’s important. Everyone agrees. So you better get to it.
But in the long list of thing to do for entrepreneurs, especially those who want to actually grow their business during an entire market recession, being environmentally friendly might not be at the top of your list.
So what can you do? Start simple. Pick a few easy things to do in the coming months and go from there. One of the easiest and simple things you can do is really push a paperless office in the coming quarter. Make it a company initiative to use less paper.
You can do this by getting rid of the fax machine and using an email fax service. You can do this by encouraging people to print up less documents, to send more documents electronically, etc. It’s easy.
Once you’ve got that out of the way, you can look into switching some light bulbs to more cost efficient ones. You can even look into some really big things like solar power and new heating systems.
The list of green things to do for your business is endless, but don’t get overwhelmed by the list. Start at the top, move down from there, and watch your company expenses go down. You’ll feel good about doing something positive for the world. It’s worth your time.
