3 Tips for Creating an Eco-Friendly Office Space

3 Tips for Creating an Eco-Friendly Office Space

With environmental issues such as global warming negatively impacting the planet, a growing number of businesses are starting to address these issues. For example, adopting more sustainable business practices and a greener office culture. To transform into a more eco-friendly office space, the changes don’t have to be drastic. In fact, a few small changes here and there can greatly reduce an office’s carbon footprint and expenditure.  

Grow Office Plants

As an effect of the global pandemic in 2020, employees are becoming increasingly concerned about air quality and ventilation issues in closed areas. Having office plants in the workplace not only  makes the office more aesthetically pleasing, but also helps remove pollutants and keep the office air quality fresh. 

Provide Bike Storage Options

Did you know that a typical vehicle emits around 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. If every employee were to travel to and from the workplace with a vehicle every day, the amount of pollutants emitted can quickly add up and negatively damage the atmosphere. In order to encourage employees to use more eco-friendly means of transportation like bikes, it would be a good idea to provide bike storage options in the office so that employees can do so more conveniently. .

Install Motion-Sensor Light Switches

The great thing about motion-sensor light switches is that they can save a good amount of energy by eliminating the possibility of lights being left on when no one is in the room. In office areas such as the break rooms or the kitchen where lights are often left on by accident, you should consider installing motion-sensor lights to ensure that lights are turned off when no one is around.
