Hi GiantOCR,
You may suggest that some of these things may be covered by ISO 14000.
- paperless transactions (justify how you were able to automate transactions when your company for example was able to achieve paperless or even lessen you paper transactions by an acceptable percentage.
- awareness across all departments on putting a signature on your email with something like this - "do not print this email if it's not that important. Let's save paper and ink and help mother earth".
- Use paints that clean the air, yes this is possible, try to google it and research that some paint companies are now bragging that they can clean the air, might as well use that in your vicinity.
- use flourescent bulbs instead of those "orange" bulbs, they consume less and emits brighter lights.
- recycle plastic bags, reuse them, research on how to fold them to the extent wherein they would be easy to keep which wouldn't take enough space.
- use recycled papers in your office if it's amenable.
- encourage your colleagues to use their car only once a week and use public transportation instead of bringing them everyday in the office or yet promote carpool, less costs, less pollution.
- enlighten people in the office to turn off their computers before going home, switch off the monitor when not in use.
hope this helps.
