The Holidays are a Time for Giving
As we head into the holiday season, what better way to give back than to give back to our planet?
IZEA has really been stepping up our green game lately (see this post). Everywhere you look people are turning off the lights behind them, recycling their paper and skipping the styrofoam. It warms our collective eco-heart. We still get the occasional garbage in the recycling bin and then everyone gets to witness our Office Manager, Jenni, get really, really aggravated. (Maybe someone’s just trying to mess with her now.) There is a sign over the recycling can that designates it as recycling only.
IZEANs are also skipping the car and biking or walking to work instead. Crystal, Eric, and Veronique are all reducing their environmental impact and hitting the pavement. So what else can we do to reduce our impacts in the office? We could skip the disposables and embrace the reusables, like plates and cutlery. We’ve also got a dishwasher, all we need to do is hit up a garage sale or thrift store and find a retro set for $2. We could also make a habit of unplugging our computer’s power cord when we leave to avoid vampire power or the occasional mac fire…those are neat.
Anyone up for the challenge?
So what are you doing to make your office more eco-friendly? Maybe we can incorporate your ideas into the IZEA office life and be a few-green-steps-closer to hugging trees.
