Make your office more eco-friendly with these ideas

The working people’s second home is their office. If the office is clean, dust-free, arranged properly then it creates a healthy atmosphere and employees can work more efficiently in such an environment rather than the dusty, congested environment. Every organization should try to make their office eco-friendly. Some of the tips and ideas to make your office eco-friendly are as follows:


Use LEDs or CFLs

Using LEDs and CFLs help in saving electricity. To make your office eco-friendly replace the traditional bulbs and tube lights with LEDs and CFLs. In this way, you can help a lot to protect the environment.

Try to grab natural sunlight

Make sure your office has enough windows for light and fresh air. Natural sunlight led to increasing employee's productivity so try avoiding the use of these artificial lights.

Switch off lights while leaving the workplace

You can help the environment just by giving a few minutes before you are leaving the office. Try to turn off the lights, electronics, air conditioners, printers, laptops, PCs, etc. This habit will not only improve the environment but will also save money due to less electricity bill.

Create monthly green challenges

You can create some challenges for your employees to have fun and also to keep them motivated. Give challenges like whose desk always remains clean, or who’s laptop or PCs always are dust-free, etc.  All of this will provide a good environment at the workplace.

Use monitor sensing lights

It generally happens that people forget to switch off the lights while leaving conference rooms or other sections. To get over this problem, you can install monitor sensing lights at such places. Monitor sensing lights are turned on automatically when someone enters the room for a specific duration.

Use eco-friendly food items

In offices, you can put eco-friendly items for your employees like coffee pods, dry-fruits, fresh juice packets or even some fruits. Coffee pods once used can be used again like they can be used for exfoliating our skin, or can be used in the garden for soil as they are biodegradable. With the use of coffee pods no cleanup effort is required which led to creating a healthier and cleaner environment.

Use Digital Files

Keeping data in digital form saves our trees. In the digital era, the cloud makes it easy to keep our data in a structured way and can refer to them at any time without hustling with bundles of papers and files. Small offices should try to replace all their paperwork by keeping the data and information in digital form.

Use reusable office bags

Everyone carries a bag while they are going to their office. You can carry reusable bags for your office purpose which helps our environment as these bags can be easily recycled.

These are some tips to keep your office eco-friendly. Create awareness among the employees by telling them these tips and giving them tasks related to cleaning. This will not only make your office clean but also the environment and our mother earth clean.
