Easy Hacks to Be More Eco-Conscious at Work

How Businesses Can Be More Eco-Friendly

It's no secret that we're in a climate emergency. United Nations have stated that we only have 11 years to limit climate change catastrophe, so it's no wonder that people are doing everything they can to prevent the worst from happening. While individuals can do their part, businesses can also play an active role in helping the environment. Take a look at these easy and cheap ways to make your business more eco-conscious.Reduce your plasticYour business can use less plastic by providing a water cooler instead of water bottles, eliminating straws, and even bulk-buying office equipment to save on plastic. Get creative and get the team involved to reduce your plastic consumption together.Stock up the kitchenIf your business buys milk and creamer for the office, consider switching them to environmentally-friendly and healthy alternatives. Plant-based milks (rice, soy, oat, and almond) use less land and water than dairy milk. Plant-based milks also emit far fewer emissions. Try using a dairy-free alternative to help the planet.Encourage flexible workingThe daily commute is a huge polluter for millions of us. Many businesses are allowing employees to work from home a couple of days a week to save on transport costs and emissions. Adopting a more flexible approach to modern working is a great way to reduce your business's environmental impact and cut your company's carbon footprint.Go paperlessHow many of us are still guilty of printing off way too much paper? It's now easier than ever to make the change to a paper-free office environment with cloud-based applications, digital document signing, and scanning in paperwork.These tips can help you to create a more environmentally-conscious workplace.
