How Green is your Office? Ecofriendly Hosting
I’m always looking for ways to improve the eco-friendliness of my office. I use fair trade tea and coffee. I don’t print if I can avoid it, and always get the kids to draw on the back of paper that is only printed on one side. I like to order eco-friendly office supplies and I try to reuse packaging too. A new idea to me was eco-friendly hosting for your website. You can opt for hosting and servers powered only by renewable energy, find a company that offsets its carbon production or even opt for a virtual server that is designed to use less energy and produce less heat. Thanks to Lisa of Eurydice PR, a very eco-friendly PR and journalist for letting me know about the eco hosting!
And to contribute to your eco-friendly efforts, Euroffice are offering 15% all of their Greener Office range. This offer lasts until the 30th of November.
Interesting! I’m going to investigate similar opportunities in the Netherlands – going green is certainly high on my agenda too! tnx for the tip!
I contribute one additional tip also: eco-friendly fonts from Ecofont Professional. An idea as appealing as simple: they have figured out how much of a letter can be removed, while it remains readable, but so it uses less ink when you do have to print it. This resulted in a ‘green font’ that uses up to 20% less ink. Free to download, free to use! There is also a print solution for business environments: Ecofont Professional. check it out on http://www.ecofont.com
