It's not easy being green, but just like everything we do, we always strive to do the best we can. If the current trends continue we may find that the internet is one of the best ways to organise environmentally friendly shopping, so think about transfering your business on line and save emissions too. People who shop on line instead of driving to the shops pollute less and the postal service is lot more economical on resources.
One step we have taken is to run a virtual office. This means that all of our team telecommutes to work. No one ever drives their car to our office in the morning to come to work. (Some people don't even ever seem to get out of their pyjamas, you know who you are. We don't actually encourage that!) This obviously reduces pollution caused by CO2 emissions.
Over the years we have also reduced the amount of paper we use. In fact, most of the time the only paper that is utilized in our office is for our contracts and our clients cheques but we do encourage on-line payments too. All other documents are kept securely in a digital format and backed up (you do back up don't you?).
We are continuing to make environmentally friendly choices where ever we can. If you are not making earth friendly choices, we encourage you to start now.
Please ask us if you want advice, asking is free!
