Tips from Wednesday, April 8, 2009

 

The Small Business tips today will be about going green with efficiency in the office.

 

  1. Refill your ink cartridges instead of buying new. When you have to get rid of them though, choose to recycle.
  2. When you have to print, utilize both sides of the paper: duplex printing helps us use fewer trees.
  3. Reuse misprints as scratch paper and/or shred for packing materials. If you don’t do either, then recycle it.
  4. Print only when absolutely necessary. Keep digital records. Email. Store things online.

 

Daily Overview: If it’s necessary to print then make sure to refill, recycle and reuse.
