In 2002 we made the move to have less paper in the office and purchased an electronic imaging system which enabled us to move away from paper to on-screen documentation. In 2011 we accomplished our transition to cloud computing – thereby improving data access and security.
For many years we have used both sides of the page for our in-house work, and used post-its and half sheets instead of full sheets for much of the paper correspondence we generate.
Besides these measures, here are some other ways we conserve resources:
Save Trees & Reduce Waste
- Buy recycled copier paper
- Use out of date letterhead and post-its as scratch paper
- Keep a clean dishcloth in the kitchen to dry hands (versus paper towels)
- Buy paper towels and tissues made with recycled content
- Cancel unwanted junk mail
- Stock the kitchen with ceramic dishes and metal utensils
- Recycle glass and metal
- Donate outgoing computers to non-profit organizations
- Take used batteries and electronics to appropriate waste disposal sites
Save Energy
- Use energy saver settings on computers, and other office equipment
- Use energy saving light bulbs and fixtures
- Turn off lights and computer monitors when they are not in use
- Walk to lunch
- Relocating operations to Marin saves the staff an average three hours commute time
