Sustainability

First, calculate your carbon footprint:

Then, work to reduce carbon output at work. Here are some things we do, and you can too!

1) Recycle, recycle, recycle.

  • Have a personal recycling bin under your desk. 
  • Recycle glass, plastic and paper. 
  • Start recycling in your office. Check out Denver Recycles or contact your city's public works department.

2) Shut it down!

Set up a shutdown procedure for your own office.

  • Shut down your computer.
  • Turn off your monitor.
  • Turn off any lights in your office or the vicinity.
  • Use a power strip and turn the switch off when you leave to turn off any “always on” devices.
  • Read these tips from Microsoft on power management using Windows XP or Vista.
