What can you do to help reduce your environmental impact?

As we are all concerned with the environment, finding ways to save energy can be difficult and overwhelming. Don’t think big, but small. Start with small steps by encouraging co-workers, friends, and family to be aware of their impact and develop a plan together.

Our tip: Invite your co-workers, family, or friends to take public transportation, carpool, vanpool, or ride a bike together. If one person switches to taking public transportation rather than driving (based on a 20 mile round trip commute) the annual reduction of CO2 emissions is about 4,800 pounds a year!

For more tips and suggestions on how you can start saving the environment read the Environmental Leader article, “16 Tips for Small Businesses to Save Energy”.
