One way that your entire company can do something green is to start a company wide recycling program.

Being a Green Company – Green is the New Black

I have found that being a green company is a lot easier than I originally thought. My thinking was that going green was going to be a big pain in the neck and would cost a lot of money. The truth is that going green is easy and can save a lot of money. They say that green is the new black in terms of bottom-line black ink and that is always a good thing. The thing to keep in mind when you take your company green is to start small.

Every little bit helps and being a green company doesn’t mean you have to do everything at once. You can start by just having a recycling program in the office. Recycle paper, bottles, cans and things like toner cartridges. That is all really easy to do, doesn’t cost anything and is a good start. You will find that once you get people into the habit of recycling daily that pretty soon you are really making a difference. Recycling can be attributed to anything, even furniture. In fact, instead of buying new office furniture all the time, look for gently used furniture on sites like Craig’s List. You will save money and help the environment by not letting those items go into the landfill prematurely.

Curbing your energy use is probably the easiest way to begin being a green company. Shut off electric machines and appliances when they are not in use. Install energy efficient light bulbs in all your fixtures. They are not expensive and they will save you close to 40% on your electric bills. This goes for the heat and AC too. Turn it off when you are not using it or put it on a timer for the most efficient use.

Being a green company is more about discipline than anything else. All I did was start a routine and kept with it and my company has been continually getting greener and greener all the time while I continue to add to the bottom line. Going green is not just good for the Earth it is also good for business. These times make it hard enough to stay in business and compete and being green offers a great new way to make money and be more profitable. I also enjoy some tax benefits to being green and you probably can too, just check with your government.
