CLEAN EARTH | Do You Love Coffee?
Small things can make a big difference.
Consider your humble cup of coffee, the world’s second-most valuable legal commodity after oil, with environmental and social impacts to match. Stir up some positive change by asking your barista and/or office manager to switch to organic and Fair Trade-labeled brands.Then do your bit to reduce the energy and waste involved in producing transporting, and disposing of more than 1.9 million tons of paper and plastic cups and plates thrown away in the U.S. each year: use your own mug. You need to wash it, sure, but life cycle analysis shows that over its life of about 3,000 uses a mug is associated with 30 times less solid waste and 60 times less air pollution than the equivalent drinks in a disposable paper or foam cups.

CLEAN EARTH | Promote Public Transportation
How often do you stand around trying to hail a cab to get across the city simply because it requires less thought than working out what bus, train, or subway to catch? When you factor in things like time spent parking, public transportation is often just as quick as driving, as well as being much cheaper.
Encourage staff to use public transportation whenever possible, and take the hassle out of it by providing maps and timetables for local services in the staff room or your intranet.
Buy tickets in bulk for staff use rather than just shelling out for cabs. Encourage greater use of public between home and work through interest-free loans for annual travel passes.

Clean Health | Go Fish
If you suffer from dry eyes, up your seafood intake.
Salmon, sardines, and mackerel contain omega-3 fatty acids, which the body uses to produce tears, among other things. Research suggests that people who consume higher amounts of these fats are less likely to have dry eyes.

CLEAN EARTH | Plant Life
Indoor plants can play a crucial role in your local work environment. A plant on your desk is not only nice to look at but also acts as a natural air filter, absorbing airborne pollutants and computer radiation while replenishing oxygen levels. It’s also an act as a natural air filter, absorbing airborne pollutants and computer radiation while replenishing oxygen levels.
It’s also an air cooler, through the evaporative process known as transpiration. Indoor plants help protect you from the germs of your colleagues, with research showing they significantly reduce the incidence of fatigue, coughs, sore throats, and other cold-related illnesses. Plus they have a measurable effect in reducing stress levels, so it doesn’t hurt to have one close by for when you get stuck on hold while on the phone.

Clean Health | Don't Skip Breakfast
Fiber in the morning means less hunger late in the afternoon when you're most likely to feel tired and gorge yourself on sugar. My morning dose comes from steel-cut oatmeal, usually mixed with raisins, walnuts, and flaxseed oil. An early start on eating also keeps your metabolism more active throughout the day; breakfast eaters are thinner than people who just rush out the door.

Clean Earth | Teaching Aides
The size of the green market remains far smaller than what consumers’ stated environmental concerns indicate it should be.
This is the problem--and also an opportunity. It suggests many people are unsure about how to translate their personal values to their consumption choices, and perhaps also less than convinced about the difference it makes.
Your staff plays a crucial role. They are at the front line in communicating the environmental performance of your business; they will reinforce the rest of your good work if they’re able to “talk green” with demanding customers. Invest in education and training and the benefits will flow.

Get Supplies Made from Recycled & Eco-Friendlier Materials
Use a desk caddy to save envelopes, rubber bands, and paper clips for reuse, and ask your office manager to establish an exchange spot for other items such as bubble wrap and padded envelopes. Request designs that other stationery, supplies, reuse, refillable, clean earth, sustainability, created by earth reuse, such as envelopes that have resealable flaps and space for multiple addresses, or adhesive-tape holders that are refillable rather than disposable.

Clean Earth: Measure And Manage
Introduce Energy-Efficiency Measures
Commercial buildings and industrial facilities produce 45 percent of the nation’s greenhouse emissions. Energy use in intensive factory operations is understandable; in office buildings, it’s unnecessarily high. Lease arrangements often provide no financial incentive for a tenant to introduce energy-efficiency measures, nor even the capability to monitor use.

Negotiate a lease in which reduced energy and water consumption will benefit both your company and your landlord. Managing building-related electricity use can be particularly cost-effective since it makes up a disproportionately large part of peak electricity demand, which can amount to as much as half of total electricity costs.

Clean Health: Sweat Till You're Wet

Work up a sweat
If you can work up a sweat for just 1 hour a week, you'll enjoy a range of benefits: reduced risk of heart attack, better mood, and lower blood pressure. I like interval training on the elliptical, with 15 pullups and 15 dips every 10 minutes. Your muscles will become more efficient, so you'll have more stamina for more enjoyable activities that also work up a sweat.

Clean Earth: Pens And Pencils
Make a better impression in your written work...
Americans buy more than 5.1 billion pens every year, and most are the disposable type, thrown in the trash once the ink runs dry. That adds up to about 770 tons more of unnecessary plastic waste in landfills each year.

Make a better impression in your written work by using long-life refillable pens made from recycled plastic, paper, or timber, or from fully biodegradable bio-plastic (derived from corn starch). Also, look for pencils manufactured from sustainably harvested timber or wood substitutes such as recycled paper, old plastic cups, wood offcuts, and reclaimed denim.
