Categories: Daily Fit Tip

Unless you've denounced electricity altogether and no longer use the internet, you've probably already read many of the popular green living tips today -- turn off the water when you brush your teeth, turn down your thermostat, turn off the lights, recycle, etc. But did you know you can also take those green habits to work?

Canadian Living has a few tips to get you started:

  • Use fair-trade and organic coffees, and drink them out of your own, washable cup.
  • Use refillable pens made from recycled plastic and pencils from sustainably-harvested wood.
  • Carry your own lunch and use reusable containers and silverware.
  • Put a plant on your desk to improve your office's indoor air quality.
  • Turn off your computer at lunch, during meetings, and definitely at the end of the day.

The next step, getting your boss encourage green habits office-wide!
