There are a million little things we can do to lower our carbon footprint. Here is a list of just a few things we can do in our home office:

1. Recycle paper, bottles, and cans
2. Use CFL bulbs
3. Turn off all lights, electronics, computers, printers, when not in use.
4. If you’re in the market for a new computer, buy an Energy Star laptop. They use 90% less energy
5. Ditch the bottled water habit. It’s all just tap water anyway.
6. Only use recycled paper products
7. Try paperless alternatives when ever possible
   • google docs: Word and Spreadsheet
   • Remember The Milk: Online to-do list, compatible with gmail
   • Pay Pal
   • sign up for online bill pay through your bank
   • send an email instead of mail
8. Use recycled office products like rebinder which are 100% recycled products
9. When printing something print on both sides of the paper
10. Recycle ink/toner cartridges
11. Use recycled business cards
