Greening Your Work

Planet Green has some tips for Going Green at Work. They might not be for everybody, but some are really easy! Before you click over to that, here are some numbers to consider:

• 1: the number of times that most of the 25 billion+ cartons manufactured in the U.S. are used.

• 55 percent: the amount of water saved by producing recycled paper vs. new paper. Recycled paper also takes 60-70 percent less energy to produce than paper from virgin pulp.

• 120: the number of tons of steel saved if every UK office worker used one less staple a day.

• 8 billion: the number of gallons of gas saved if every commuter car in the U.S. carried just one more person.
