"Hi, my name's Mark and we're going to look at small business ideas for going green. What I mean by green is basically working in an environmentally friendly manner. Some of the issues we're being faced with daily in terms of the environmental issues are the excess amounts of paper we use in an office. So obviously if we're using the Internet more and more we should try and reduce our paper usage. At the same time we're using more and more energy when we use our Internet through our computers so maybe we should be more efficient with our use of the computer, switching it on and off at the beginning and the end of every day. Make sure that it's switched off so we're not using the power. Also, we think about the products that we're using in the office. For example if you're office has a kitchen, you might be using cleaning detergents. Well, maybe you could buy cleaning detergents that are packaged in eco-friendly, environmentally friendly cartons that could be something with office policy an imprint from the organization to show that it's going green in that respect. Also, in terms of stationary, you might think about buying environmentally friendly manila folders or storage products, business cards. Any printing should be done on environmentally friendly materials. And also, when you think about your printing which is something you want to reduce anyway, the actual plastic used for the toners are not environmentally friendly, so maybe you could replace those. In fact if you look around the office, there are all kinds of things that you can do to reduce the amount of energy you use and consume and the types of materials you use can be changed as well. Make sure it's office policy. Go green."
