When you’re designing your office, you will find that there are a lot of ways that you can make the business as eco-friendly as possible. But, how can you add that to your culture? What things should you be doing to make that as simple as possible? Can you do it in an affordable way that is going to make sense for everything that you’re trying to do and work with?

Save Paper in As Many Ways as Possible

Saving paper is something that takes practice and you need to be sure that you’re doing as much as you can to keep up with it. Don’t send snail mail when you can prevent it – send emails so that you can get information across without wasting paper. Consider canceling as much junk mail as you can, and talk to people about taking the time and knowing how they can effectively reduce paper use.

Use Natural Light When Possible to Do So

When you’re looking at your building’s design, consider using things like skylights and open windows in order to open up the space and to let more light in. The more natural light that you can get into your space, the easier that it’s going to be to be more energy efficient and save as much energy as possible in regards to your light and energy use. It can also help to increase the amount of heat in your space, which means that you may not have to turn the thermostat quite so high during the colder months of the year, either.

Have Branded Reusable Products Available for Your Employees and Customers/Clients

Part of what you’re trying to do with having an eco-friendly office is having options available that people can use with ease. Taking the time to purchase things like custom grocery bags with logos so that your customers, clients, and/or employees can utilize them in their daily lives can be a significant part of having an office that is eco-friendly. Look at what’s out there and see what you can purchase.

Work With Companies That Offer Eco-Friendly Furniture

If you’re furnishing your space, be sure to take some time and see what you can get in terms of eco-friendly furniture. There are tons of options available to look at and, more often than not, you will be pleasantly surprised at what you can get for your space and what it is that you may be looking to do and work with as a part of the whole thing. Look around and shop for what you like.

Set Up Ride Shares or Other Options for Green-Friendly Travel

Your travel footprint can be a big part of trying to sort out what it is that you need to do to be more eco-friendly. Set up a ride share program at your workplace. Consider looking at telecommuting as a potential option for those who may have to commute for work or for meetings. Or see how else technology can help you to reduce that footprint – it will go a very long way toward helping you to sort out what could be best for your purposes here.
