In times of recession, organizations ought to be more environment friendly. The following are a few ways by which we can save resources and energy at the workplace.

1. Be smart when you print – Make it a habit to print on both sides of the paper. Make sure that you buy paper with a certain percentage of recycled content.

2. Go paperless at work – Ask yourself, is it necessary to print that document? Could I read or store it online instead? Does your company use a paper catalog to market their products? If so, get it converted to a page flipping catalog.

3. Recycle anything and everything – You would be surprised to know what all you could recycle at your workplace. You could recycle just about any kind of paper in an office. Just put recycling bins at accessible areas in the office.

4. Rethink your commute – Take a bus to the workplace. Use technology (mobile phones and video conferencing) to reduce employee travel.

If forests are the lungs of the Earth, it would be tough for the Earth to breathe in the current situation. Rain forests account for over 40 percent of the Earth’s oxygen. In addition, trees and plants help stabilize the climate by removing heat-trapping gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane, ozone) from the atmosphere. Destroying trees releases the greenhouse gases back into the atmosphere, thereby speeding up global warming. According to Greenpeace, the environmental organization, 80 percent of the planet’s ancient forests have already been damaged or destroyed. And the remaining is under serious threat from illegal and destructive logging. We lose over 32 million acres of natural forests every year owing much to logging.

Trees are being cut down like there is no tomorrow. At the current rate of deforestation, the rain forests could completely vanish in a 100 years. There are many reasons as to why the forests are being cut down, paper production being one of the main reasons. In the United States alone, 20 billion paper catalogs are produced each year by cutting down over 8 million tons of trees. None of those catalogs are made from recycled paper. They are often unsolicited and end up in the bin, without ever being looked at. Why such disregard for natural resources?

To save the rain forests, we must save paper. At first, we should convert paper catalogs into online ecatalogs. Digital catalog is a digital version of a paper catalog. It can be set up on a website and/or send out to clients on a CD/DVD/USB, so it is available 24×7. It offers the look and feel of a paper catalog. It is just that the digital catalog is interactive and intuitive. Finally, it is very much affordable.
