Bæredygtighed på kontoret
CNN kører for tiden en programserie, der sætter fokus på bæredygtighed - også på kontoret. 10 grundregler for at optimere miljøet er:
1) Keep a mug at work for coffee rather than using disposable cups.
2) Switch to using long-life refillable pens made from recycled plastic, paper or timber, or from fully biodegradable bioplastic (derived from cornstarch).
3) Choose recycled paper, rather than paper made from virgin timber - it makes up 70 percent of office waste.
4) Set your printer to double-sided copies to save paper.
5) Keep a paper recycling tray in addition to your waste bin.
6) Bring your own lunch to work in a reusable container to reduce packaging waste.
7) Remove your phone charger from the power point when not in use, as it continues to consume up to 40 percent of the current used to charge your phones.
8) Set your computer to sleep if you are away from your desk for more than 10 minutes, which reduces power consumption to about 5 percent of full operating power.
9) Look to maximize the natural light in your office, rather than relying on artificial light.
10) Join the environmental or sustainable committee in your workplace. If one does not exist, take the initiative and form a green task force.
Soya til printeren og print-programmer
Et firma, the green office har specialiseret sig i miljørigtige kontorprodukter, med blandt andet soya-blækpatroner og miljørigtigt møblement. Vigtigst er dog ift digitale medier at nedbringe printressourcer. Fineprint og HPs Smart Web printing skærer reklamer ud af prints, mens værktøjer som greenprint fjerner sider, der ellers ville blive skrevet ud som tomme sider. Samtidig er der muligheden for at fjerne billeder og unødige sider, som gør dig i stand til at spare blæk.
Mulighedernes verden
Det er en overvejelse værd, om fremtidens ‘print’ knapper på hjemmesider i virkeligheden skal fokuserer på miljørigtige udprints, for at styrke den pågældende virksomheds miljøprofil….og om powerpoints med mange farver og få bulletpoints (mange sider) bliver en del af baggrunden for at vælge et bureau frem for et andet. Bare en tanke.

i’m quite often scurrying throughout the internet virtually all of the evening thus I have the inclination to browse a great deal, which is not typically a beneficial factor as the majority of the web pages I discover are constructed of unnecessary garbage copied from many other web pages a thousand times, but I have to give you credit this page is indeed readable and also includes some authentic information, for that reason thanks for stopping the phenomena of merely duplicating other folks’ blogs and forums, in case you ever want to try a few hands of myspace poker together with me just email me - you have my e-mail :)

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information.
