Electronic supplies. Reusing and recycling your office supplies improves efficiency and saves money. For instance, old ink cartridges aren’t biodegradable, so recycling keeps them out of landfills where they will sit indefinitely. Electronics-related items, including items such as computer monitors, televisions, ink cartridges, and printers, can often be taken to big-box office supply and electronics stores for recycling at no charge, and some stores will even give you a discount or store credit for taking this simple step. Check with your local retailer for details.
Change light bulbs. You can reduce your home’s energy use significantly by simply replacing your indoor and outdoor incandescent light bulbs with light-emitting diode (LED) or compact fluorescent bulbs. They use about 75 percent less energy, offer a longer life (up to a decade!), and produce less heat, keeping your home cooler during summer months.
