Many people around the world were working from home or remotely up until last year. But that number drastically increased this year with the spread of the coronavirus.
However, that doesn’t mean the planet does not need to be saved. But other than that, you should do as many ‘green’ things as possible because it is beneficial for you. It can promote your mental wellbeing, health, and even your productivity at work. Not to mention, the initiative can help you save money.
What can you do? Check out these four tips below.
Save Power
Reducing power consumption is one of the first steps that you should take towards going green.
If you are not using any equipment, lights, or anything else, then turn them off completely. Even if you are not using your computer, then turn off instead of putting it on standby.
You can also that allow natural light through. If you go for the sunscreen roller blinds, then you can get the view and natural light with some privacy too. On the other hand, the light filter can give you natural light and privacy, minus the view.
You might be stunned when you see how low your next bill is.
Purchase Re-Usable Items
You might be using some disposable supplies at your home office. That is entirely understandable because they can seem more convenient. But what if you can save your money and get re-usable items?
You can look into recycles pens, staple-less staplers, refillable ink cartridges, and much other re-useable stationery for your office.
To take it one step further, look into not-for-profit organisations that are selling amazing used furniture at fantastic prices. If you already have some stuff, then you can look into some DIY touch-up methods.
Go Paperless
Going paperless is also an integral part of every eco-friendly initiative. But don’t worry, you don’t have to be tech-savvy to figure this out.
You can use simple software like Adobe Reader, Google Drive, and a few others to get all of your things done. You can convert files to other formats, edit them, sign them, and do a lot more easily.
If there is a need to print in your line of work, then you can look into eco-friendly options. There are plenty of FSC-certified companies out there that offer recycled paper for all of your printing needs. Allowing you to save money and trees at the same time.
Add More Life to Your Home
What would a green initiative be if you don’t actually add any green?
Many indoor plants can offer you a range of benefits, and they are very budget-friendly as well.
If you decide to have some plants in your home office, they can purify the air and allow you to breathe fresher air. They can also spread their lovely scents in the air. Finally, they are excellent decorative additions to your home office décor.
