Saving energy and money at work

At Greene and Co, we care about the environment and I always read with interest anything that offers advise on saving the planet. Not only is it a great thing to help our lovely little earth, but on a more personal level it usually helps you save some money too!

I found this great little article on the Energy Savings Trust website which offers all sorts of easy little tips to help you do your bit and save a few hard earnt pennies along the way, including:

Hold meetings online rather than in offices

If your company has several different office, think about using video conferencing facilities instead of sending staff to meet face to face. If your company can’t justify the expense of a packaged video conferencing suite, think about using the free Apple iChat or Microsoft Netmeeting web conferencing software. Your IT team (or an IT contractor) should be able to set it up easily.

What a brilliant tip - not only saves money on travel, but saves time too…something we’re all a bit short of.
