Share supplies and equipment whenever possible; consider how often they will be used.
Welcome to Week 46 of 50 Ways to Reduce Your Waste Line. Last week we talked about avoiding battery-powered keyboards, mice, and accessories unless truly necessary. This week, we ask you to consider sharing office supplies.
One Thing You Can Do:
Maintain a central location in your office where supplies are stored and take only what you need, as needed. This will prevent your office from ordering supplies unnecessarily and help keep an accurate inventory.
Additional Information:
Having a central supplies location can also help build community in your office as you are more likely to “bump into” your colleagues and have an opportunity to chat!
