What are some ways a manufacturer can promote going green inside the company?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

If possible allow some people to work at home in lieu of commuting. Get rid of disposible cups and utensils and replace with washable wear. Purchase and use recycled materials for paper, cardboard and other material need. Encourage and require recycling of all types of materials including paper, cans, plastics etc. Reduce energy use by replacing lights with more efficient (T-5) fixtures. Use occupancy sensors that will shut lights off automatically in corridors and public areas when not occupied. Consider reducing corridor lighting. In the summer, the building temperature doesn%26#039;t need to be 70 (for long sleeves and suit jackets). It can be 74 or greater to reduce cooling requirements. Heating temperatures can also be adjusted. Ensure the building heating and cooling adjusts at night when the building is not occupied. Have everyone do their part. Give recognition awards for those who function in the %26quot;greenest%26quot; way. 78% 7 Votes
