ARD Ideas For Businesses

 

·         Announce a commitment to buy recycled-content products for your workplace (for example, recycled copy paper, toner cartridges, or compost for landscaping).
 
·         Conduct a waste audit of a business office. Check out www.kab.org for Waste in the Workplace.
 
·         Have employees bring in clothing and eyeglasses they no longer need and donate the items to charities.
 
·         Invite schools to tour your facility to learn about your environmental programs.
 
·         Ask your suppliers to reduce the amount of packaging they use.
 
·         Sponsor a lake, river, creek, highway, or other cleanup near your facility. Recycle as much of collected materials as possible.
 
·         Buy reusable mugs with your company logo for employees to use instead of disposable cups.
·         Sponsor drawings with a mulching lawn mower, compost bin, or a gift bag of items made from recycled materials.
 
·         Have a paperless office day. Encourage staff to use e-mail and edit documents on-line.
 
·         Start a compost program for your cafeteria, or hold an employee compost training or workshop.
