Eco Tips

Check out these 10 eco-tips to be more ‘green’.

1.

Dispose of Cigarettes Butts Properly.
Did you know it takes 10 years for one cigarette butt to biodegrade? Most people wouldn’t throw a gum wrapper on the ground, but cigarette butts are commonly dropped or tossed out of car windows.
Cigarette butts are not only litter, but they also cause many serious environmental problems. Many land and marine animals die annually from mistakenly eating cigarette butts. Cigarettes tossed out of car windows are often the cause of forest fires.
 
 

2.

Use Stale Bread as a Cleaning Tool.

Old bread is slightly abrasive.  It can lift pencil marks, dust from keyboard crevices, and even smudges from walls — reducing reliance on chemical cleaners. 

 
 

3.

Use Cloth-Roller Towels In Office Bathrooms And Canteens.

 

Companies should provide washable cloth-roller towels in its bathrooms and canteens, rather than disposable paper towels or electric hand driers.
 
 

4.

Use Anti-Ultraviolet Film On Windows Exposed To Sunlight.
Apply anti-ultraviolet film to window glazing exposed to strong sunlight in Summer. This will help prevent your office becoming too hot and cut down on the demand for cooling systems.
 
 

5.

Support ‘Green-Aware’ Businesses.
Wherever possible you should support businesses that promote a cleaner environment, either through their environmental policy (reducing & recycling etc.) or because their products are more environmentally-friendly that others.
