22、een Your WorkA greener workplace can mean a lighter ecological footprint, a healthier and more productive place to work, and good news for the bottom line. Whether youre the boss or the employee, whether your office is green already or still waiting to see the light, some practical steps can lay the

23、 groundwork for a healthy, low-impact workspace.1 More work, less energyFor many people, a computer is the central tool at work. Optimizing the energy settings for computers and other devices can be more than a modest energy saver. Set computers to energy-saving settings and make sure to shut them d

24、own when you leave for the day (“standby” settings will continue to draw power even when not in use). By plugging hardware into a power strip with an on/off switch (or a smart power strip), the whole desktop setup can be turned off at once (make sure to power down inkjet printers before killing the

25、powerthey need to seal their cartridges). Printers, scanners, and other peripherals that are only used occasionally can be unplugged until theyre needed. And of course, turn off lights in spaces that are unoccupied.2 DigitizeIt does seem a bit strange that in the “digital age” we still consume enorm

26、ous amounts of mashed up, bleached tree pulp, most of which gets used once or twice and then tossed or recycled (“downcycled,” as McDonough and Braungart would call it). The greenest paper is no paper at all, so keep things digital and dematerialized whenever possible. The more you do online, the le

27、ss you need paper. Keep files on computers instead of in file cabinets (this also makes it easier to make offsite backup copies or take them with you when you move to a new office). Review documents onscreen rather than printing them out. Send emails instead of paper letters. New software like Green

28、print helps eliminate blank pages from documents before printing and can also convert to PDF for paperless document sharing.3Dont be a paper pusherWhen buying printer paper, look for recycled paper with a high percentage of post-consumer content and the minimum of chlorine bleaching. Even recycled p

29、aper gobbles up a great deal of energy, water, and chemical resources in its processing (toxic pulp slurry is the paper recycling industrys dirty secret). When using the real stuff, print on both sides of the page when appropriate and use misprints as notepaper. Try to choose printers and photocopie

30、rs that do double-sided printing. If your office ships packages, reuse boxes and use shredded waste paper as packing material.4Greening the commuteAmerican workers spend an average of 47 hours per year commuting through rush hour traffic. This adds up to 3.7 billion hours and 23 billion gallons of g

31、as wasted in traffic each year. We can ease some of this strain by carpooling, taking public transit, biking, walking, or a creative combination thereof. If theres no good way to phase out your car, consider getting a hybrid, electric vehicle, motorcycle, scooter, or using a car sharing service like

32、 Flexcar or Zipcar. See How to Green Your Car for more depth on the subject. Some employers are even giving a bonus to bike and carpool commuters and special perks to hybrid drivers. For those who think bike riding is for kids and tattooed couriers, consider a high-tech folding bike or an electrical

33、ly assisted one (see below for more).5Green sleevesYou might be amazed how sharp work clothes from thrift stores can look. If you buy new, get clothes made with organic or recycled fibers. Avoid clothes that need to be dry-cleaned, and if they so demand it, seek out your local green dry-cleaner. See

34、 How to Go Green: Wardrobe for more tactics on greening those work duds.6 Work from homeInstant messaging, video conferencing, and other innovative workflow tools make effective telecommuting a reality. If you can telecommute, hold phone conferences, take online classes, or otherwise work from home,

35、 give it a try. Itll save you the time you would have spent on the trip as well as sparing the air. As a bonus, you get to work in your pajamas. Telecommuting works for 44 million Americans (not to mention the TreeHugger staff). Also, consider the possibility of working four ten-hour days instead of

36、 five eight-hour days (a consolidated workweek), cutting the energy and time spent on commuting by 20% and giving you some lovely three-day weekends.7Use Green MaterialsSome paper use cant be avoided, so use recycled paper and envelopes that have been processed and colored using eco-friendly methods

37、. Pens and pencils can also be made of recycled materials, and refillable pens and markers are preferable to disposable ones. Use biodegradable soaps and recycled paper or cloth towels in the bathroom and kitchen, and provide biodegradable cleaners for the custodial staff. Buy in bulk so that shippi

38、ng and packaging waste are reduced, and reuse the shipping boxes. Recycling printer cartridges is often free, and recycled replacements are cheaper than new ones.8Redesign the WorkspaceGreening the space in which you work has almost limitless possibilities. Start with good furniture, good lighting,

39、and good air. Furniture can be manufactured from recycled materials as well as recyclable. Herman-Miller and Steelcase are two groundbreaking companies that have adopted the Cradle-to-Cradle protocol for many of their office chairs. Incandescent bulbs can be replaced with compact fluorescents and th

40、ere is an ever-growing selection of high-end LED desk lamps that use miniscule amounts of energy. Not only is natural daylight a free source of lighting for the office, it has been proven to improve worker productivity and satisfaction (as well as boost sales in retail settings). Workspace air quali

41、ty is also crucial. Good ventilation and low-VOC paints and materials (such as furniture and carpet) will keep employees healthy (look for How to Green Your Furniture coming soon).9Lunch timeBringing lunch to work in reusable containers is likely the greenest (and healthiest) way to eat at work. Get

42、ting delivery and takeout almost inevitably ends with a miniature mountain of packaging waste. But if you do order delivery, join coworkers in placing a large order (more efficient than many separate ones). Also, bring in a reusable plate, utensils, and napkins. If you do go out for lunch, try bikin

43、g or walking instead of driving.10Get others in on the actShare these tips with your colleagues. Ask your boss to purchase carbon offsets for corporate travel by car and plane. Arrange an office carpool or group bike commute. Trade shifts and job duties so that you can work four long days instead of

44、 five short ones. Ask the office manager to get fair trade coffee for the break room and make sure everyone has a small recycling bin so that recycling is just as easy as throwing paper away. Ask everyone to bring in a mug or glass from home and keep some handy for visitors so that you reduce or eli

45、minate use of paper cups.26. To power off the electronic devices when they are not at work is a better way to save energy than a modest energy saver. 27. According to the second suggestion, a green office had better substitute computer files for paper files. 28. In a green office, paper can be reuse

46、d as file-paper or to be made into boxes for package. 29. Commuters taking a ride to work will be awarded with a bonus. 30. Clothes made with organic or recycled fibers usually do not require being dry-cleaned. 31. If conditions permit, working at home by telecommuting can save you a day each week.

47、32. Buying products in bulk can reduce packaging waste, but is a waste of energy if you dont really need so many. 33. Natural daylight is a free source of lighting for the office, besides that, it has been proven to improve workspace air quality.34. The greenest way to eat at work is to bring lunch to work in r
