To have a green atmosphere that will lasts for generations, it should be reflected in all of our deeds. It could be either at home or work. Children should be taught about how to be environment friendly. Adopting the rule of 3 R’s will have great impact on the environment. The rule is very simple.

Reuse: try to reuse as much as possible.
Recycle: prefer recyclable commodities.
Reduce: reduce the extent of wastage.

Think of the ways to adopt the above rules in your work environment. See how you can reuse things. If you are in a business that involves packaging and transporting great number of commodities, then select the packers that reuse the packing material without wasting them. At your end, try to maintain the intactness of the carton while opening the packing so that they can be reused.

Recycling is another concept that reduces the amount of waste that is dumped in to the environment. Prefer paper made of a great amount of recyclable material. Prefer paper bags if possible, and avoid usage of non recyclable plastic.

Avoid wastage at every step. If you are taking copies of the documents take double sided documents. Encourage the habit of using board or a slide show while having group discussions. Later, send all the participants a soft copy of the same. Leave them the decision to take printouts of valuable documents. This way you can reduce the number of printouts taken that reduces the paper wastage. This may seem very simple. But consider if you have to distribute about 100 pages of document to about 100 participants. Prefer use of scanners and fax modems to avoid paper wastage. Reducing paper wastage saves a great number of trees that are being cut down every year for the purpose of paper production. Reduce the extent of power wastage by turning off the system or equipments when not in use. This way you are not only saving power but also increasing the life of equipment, and even saving money. Judicious use of electricity saves the valuable resources used for power generation. Prefer E-conferences rather than travelling. Reduce the extent of water wastage in restrooms by turning off the taps properly.

As an entrepreneur there is a likely chance to increase awareness among public about environment impacts by labelling the commodities with some slogans or information about being environment conscious. Consumers prefer products that are environment friendly. Following green measures in the business improves value in the society as well as among other business partners, an easy way to attain product popularity.

You can even encourage your co-workers and other business partners to follow the above suggestions by being a role model and by increasing awareness about advantages of being environment friendly. Another great advantage of being environment friendly is you can cut down your expenses by way of waste reduction. By the way of providing tax benefits or other benefits by the government to organizations, practicing environment friendly measures strictly will encourage a great number of entrepreneurs to adopt the same.
