Different Ways in Creating a Greener Government Workplace
Below are the steps in making a green workplace on the local government:
Boost environment-friendly practices by the staff
Making the employees being aware in saving energy is one good way of encouraging them to practice environment-friendly activities. By simply turning off or unplugging the appliances not in use may help in energy saving purposes.
Make some changes in an environment-friendly way
There are lots of changes that can be done to make a greener local government office. For example, you must use fluirescent or LED buld instead of incandescent bulb. You can also use reusable dishes rather than plastic or paperwares for eating lunch.
Initiate clean commuting strategy
Most of the local government employees are just living nearby. So, instead of riding a car that emits smoke in the air, it is better to walk miles or use bikes in going to the office or vice versa.
