5 Ways Government Can Reduce
In the spirit of creating a healthier environment for all of our residents, Bee’ah is actively drafting municipal legislation that will create a viable framework for long-term sustainable business practices. We welcome your input and your ideas. Let’s get started now by reducing the amount of trash we create!
1. Do a garbage audit of your office:
- Identify the biggest culprits (plastics, styrofoam, tins, and paper)
- Note how many of these items you use every day
- Try to reduce how many you use and throw away
2. Turn things off
- Climb stairs instead of using the elevator
- Turn off lights, printers and computers overnight when you are not using them
- Reduce your printing – read emails on your computer
3. Reuse paper that only has writing on one side, cutting the amount of paper you use in half
4. Use email or the phone instead of sending letters and faxes
5. Reduce your waste
- Use regular cups and glasses instead of Styrofoam or paper cups
- Reuse boxes for storing files
- Wash company cars and trucks less often
