Tips on Greening Your Business

As a tribute to Earth Day, here are a few tips and resources for making your business a green business:

• Use a high recycled content paper in your fax and printer. When one side is printed on, use the other side for scrap paper, notes, etc.
• Have a recycling container next to each trash can and desk.
• Turn off your work station lights when gone for longer than 5 minutes.
• Replace work station light bulbs with energy efficient compact fluorescents.
• Carpool, take public transit, walk or work from home.
• If you eat take out lunches from nearby restaurants, either eat there or bring your own recyclable take out containers.
• Bring a reusable water bottle versus using one-time water cups or plastic water bottles from vending machines.
• Look at any products you offer and investigate ways you can use recycled/reclaimed content in the packaging or in the product itself.

These are just some ways that you can make a small impact in your everyday business life. For more ideas, here are some resources:

• Eco Natural
• Global Stewards
• eBay Green Team

Website tips for non-profits

I came across a wonderful blog post about web design tips for non-profit organizations at Vandelay Design Blog. Since non-profits are generally on a slim budget, this is a great resource in helping you determine which features and information to include. Once you have a defined scope of work, it is then easier to get estimates and quotes. If you are a non-profit on a budget, take a look at the link above to help you figure out your next steps. In the meantime, take a look at this simple website I made for BAEDN, non-profit on a very tight budget. It will provide ideas of what else you can include.
