After managing a web site redesign project for one of our clients, Seventh Generation, I've jumped on the Going-Green bandwagon and made a resolution to "go green" for 2008. I wanted to share some tips for Going Green...
...at the Workplace
-
Bring your own mug - you'll reduce waste since you won't be using disposable cups
- Only print if necessary
- If you must print, tweak your printer settings - Microsoft Word allows you to easily output two (or more) reduced-size pages on a single sheet of paper.
- Make a scrap paper pad
- Turn off your monitor if you're not using your computer for a long period of time
...with Marketing Strategies
- Send e-mail newsletters to communicate with customers. For example, e-commerce sites can drive traffic to their sites by sending a promotional e-mail newsletter to their subscribers.
- Create printer-friendly web pages/e-mails newsletters
- Web catalogs - instead of spending money on printing catalogs, put your catalog on the web.
Every little effort to saving the planet helps. Join the green revolution.
