Operations

Sustainability goes beyond well-insulated walls and efficient lighting. For businesses that rent their spaces, these options can be started without having to collaborate with your landlord.

• Set up your Internet Technology for maximum efficiency
• Products you create and use should be designed or purchased to be recycled. Green purchasing decisions can greatly decrease you impact on the environment.
• Programmable thermostats have functioning non-work hour setbacks.
• Recycling can easily go beyond the obvious blue cart recycling of paper and aluminum. For example, New Jersey based Terracycle creates products out of old packaging. In 2008 they started making backpacks out of Capri sun juice boxes. Currently, they are working with Covance, 2010 ChaMpion, to create products from their waste.
