Spring Cleaning at Work

Energy efficiency does not begin or end at home. To some people's surprise, buildings, not cars, produce the most CO2 mainly due to electricity use. There are some things you can do around your workplace to also help conserve.

• Keep office equipment maintained and in working order. At the end of the day make sure office equipment hasn't been left on at empty workstations.
• Keep light fixtures clean and in working order. Fix that flickering light. Double check at the end of the day that all lights off at desk and in unoccupied conference rooms.
• Plug office equipment into power strips or consider appliance timers for some type of equipment.
• Take stock count - ordering in bulk saves on resources.
• Carpool!
