green Conduct .
offices consume lots of resources including paper, ink, electricity and a number of inputs. A "green office" is one that saves energy and reduces the materials used and reduce waste and pollution generated. As pointed out by Greenpeace, encourage sustainable patterns of behavior in its members.
an office to have a sustainable environmental behavior is necessary measures are implemented responsibly and respectfully with the environment. To do this, you can follow the following guidelines:
1) Drink responsibly:
- Use paper on both sides, not print documents for each of the members of an office, but rather circulate them. Do not print the email, which is not necessary and clearly is a waste of both paper and electric energy by using the printer.
- selectively collect office equipment that will be discarded and bring to a reuse and recycling.
- Do not use utensils plásticos desechables, tales como vasos de plástico o cucharas para consumir café.
- Greenpeace señala que se debe tener cuidado con la adquisición de mobiliario hecho a base de PVC y utilizar extintores a base de agua, nitrógeno o gas carbónico.
2) Ahorrar energía
- Utilizar equipos y lámparas de menor consumo energético.
- Es indispensable desconectar los aparatos eléctricos en la noche, como el computador, impresora, fotocopiadora etc. Estos siguen consumiendo energía eléctrica, aún apagados. Además, disminuyen la cuenta de la electricidad.
- Keep the computer in power saving, ie turn off the screen when not in use. Similarly, turn off the computer if it is not used in more than one hour.
- Avoid the use of batteries. If you can not replace electricity, use rechargeable batteries.
While these are just some of the many measures that can be taken into an office to reduce consumption and save energy, are a good start for a sustainable environmental behavior. It is essential that each of the members within the office responsible and act conscientiously
