A majority of our time is spent either at home or at work. For many entrepreneurs and telecommuters, they are one and the same. One great thing about the technological revolution is that we are using a lot less paper in our work with various digital and cloud technologies to store information and utilize in various business operations.
But there are many opportunities at home and at work (wherever that may be) to be green. Installing LED light bulbs throughout your home and the office is a big step in energy conservation. They are 80% more efficient than traditional light bulbs! Did you know that you can find smart notebooks that can be reusable with a special ink that can be wiped off and an app that can digitize your notes?
Other everyday options for sustainability around the home include a “laundry egg” that uses mineral pellets to draw the dirt out of your clothes and lasts about 70 washes. That’s a big deal – saving up to 30 plastic bottles every year. There are also lots of non-toxic washing powders and detergents that are not detrimental to the environment and our water systems. From reusable containers, cloth grocery bags, various natural cleaning solutions, and more, there are a lot of simple things that you can personally do make a difference.
