Indeed, people working behind a desk know that the waste and plastics predominant in these places.
However, the evolution of digital technology makes it possible to keep your documents stored in online databases in order to avoid systematically printing them on paper. This is eco-friendly on one hand, but be aware that storing your data on what is more commonly called: Cloud or Drive creates a form of pollution because storing your data produces greenhouse gas emissions released by computers; you can't have everything.😏
On the other hand, when it comes to office tools, accessories, and furniture, there are fully eco-friendly and stylish alternative materials that will make your workspace An eco-friendly desk.
Before getting into the details, it is important to have the right reflexes and know how to apply the right practices in the office; this will be the focus of the first chapter of our article.
The eco-friendly habits at the office
It is customary at Bamboo Home Store to give you all the information you need to guide you as clearly as possible on all the topics we cover. So, we’ll start by tackling the issue at its source by giving you 2 tips for being eco-friendly at the office. ♻
But first, I invite you to watch this video full of great advice:
Rethink your travel
Insofar as possible, I encourage you to use 3 alternatives for getting to your workplace. In fact, assuming that you travel 80 km a day to get to work, be aware that this represents 16,000 km per year! That is 3 tonnes of CO2 emitted by you alone.
Choose the public transportation or even better active mobility such as: walking, cycling, rollerblading...
I understand that this alternative may be a problem over an 80 km daily commute. However, the Scandinavian countries (which are examples in terms of sustainable development) use these types of movement in their daily lives, which makes them At the European level, examples of this kind.
Third alternative: carpooling. I invite you to visit the site Blablacar which offers to connect you with people who travel the same route as you every day and with whom you can share the journey and the costs, thereby reducing your environmental footprint while making great savings.
Adapt your work environment in an eco-friendly way
There are several factors to consider in order to adopt an eco-friendly attitude in the office. One of the things to take into account to stay productive while being environmentally friendly is managing the ambient temperature.
Indeed, there's no need to overheat or overcool! The recommended ideal office temperature is 19 degrees. Also remember to put your device on standby, and choose eco-friendly wireless desk lamps with LED lighting, which are much more economical and just as effective.
The office is unfortunately a source of all kinds of waste. Indeed, the plastic cups, stirrers, coffee capsules, as well as printing représentent plus de 70 kilos de papier utilisé par an par salarié. Cependant, il existe simple steps to reduce your waste, such as bringing your own cup to the office and thus avoiding the use of plastic cups. Set up a shared place to store paper used on one side so the other side can be used. Install AD HOC bins that make sorting easier and promote recycling at the same time.
Before continuing with the eco-friendly office furniture, I invite you to find a place where you can keep a green plant, which is very important for the quality of the surrounding air. => here is an article which will help you choose the plant you need and all the tips for caring for it. 🌼
