Energy

  • Turn off your computer monitor when it is not being used for more than one hour
  • Turn off lights, radios, fans, floor heaters, printers and photocopiers at the end of each day (unplug if possible)
  • Enable 'power save' feature for your computers and printers, photocopiers and fax machines
  • Only use a desk light when you need to
  • Avoid printing emails - archive them instead
  • Unplug cell-phone charger when finished
  • Use blinds and drapes in the summer to reduce heat

Water

  • Report water leaks to your building operator
  • Don't overfill kettles and coffeepots
  • Only run the dishwasher when it's full
  • If you want cold water, keep it in the fridge in a bottle; running it until it gets cold wastes water
