Greening the Workplace

As we look for ways to conserve and improve the natural environment, we may not realize that our green habits can extend beyond our homes. Regardless of your job position, or the size of your company, there are several ways to go green at work.

From re-using paper to changing the energy settings on your computers, every little step helps. And by taking these steps, co-workers may notice and hop on board.

Looking for ways to green your office? I looked into it for you, and turns out there are several resources for doing just that.

• National Geographic offers The Green Guide, which features blogs, tips and buying guides.
• True Green at Work gives 100 ways to make the environment your business.
