Making your office greener

officefiling.jpgGoogle employees are being given free bicycles to help reduce the environmental impact of their travel to work. The company has also installed solar panels at its HQ to provide green energy.

Although I'll ask, I think it's unlikely my employer will give me a bike. The story has made me think though: a lot of people spend more time at the office than at home, so what can companies do to lessen their environmental impact?

We all, I hope, know to turn off our computers when we leave and to avoid unnecessary printing, but if you or your employer would like to do more, consider switching to green suppliers.

The green electricity marketplace lists suppliers of green electricity by area, while the green stationery company offers everything from notepads and pens to computer supplies and desk accessories.
