Environmentally Conscious @ Work

Today, Monday, October 15th, I’m participating in Blog Action Day along with about 16,000 other blog writers to raise awareness about environmental concerns. In the realm of worklife cultureand worklife balance, it’s a no-brainer. Big and small, businesses are realizing that taking interest in the topic not only benefits a company’s reputation, but also has a resounding impact within the workplace among employees. It can be a boost for employee engagement not to mention shareholder opinion.

It’s one thing for businesses to become more environmentally conscious, but that top down approach can only go so far unless we as individuals examine our own behavior whether in the workplace – or if we work from home. With my mind on Blog Action Day, I took a hard look at my behavior and eeekkksss, I have some stuff to work on. Here’ s a brief anecdote and ten tips to be more environmentally conscious @ work.
