Tips
from July 3, 2009
The Small Business tips today will be about how going green will save you money.
- Converting computers,
printers, and copy machines to "hibernate" mode will save your business
hundreds of dollars when the electric bill rolls around. Not only are
you saving money, but you are saving power by keeping your machines on,
but in a state of hibernation.
- According
to the Energy Star website, a compact fluorescent light bulb saves $30
over its lifetime and will pay for itself in 6 months! It uses 75% less
energy and lasts 10x longer than an incandescent light bulb.
- Xerox
found that 45% of paper printed in the office is tossed by the end of
the day. Eliminate unnecessary printing and save your business hundreds
of dollars per year by ordering fewer reams of paper and ink cartridges.
- Disposable
coffee cups contribute to unnecessary waste. Spending $2 for coffee
mugs with your office logo not only provides cheap advertising, but
saves money in buying bulk stacks of disposable coffee cups.
