Bring your own plates and cutlery to work

Paper plates, paper napkins, and plastic forks, spoons, and knives have been a mainstay in the office for a long time, so it might be difficult at first to make the switch. Reusable dishes and cutlery can significantly cut down on paper waste and pollution.

LCD Monitors andTV

We must switch to LCD monitors and TVs at home and at work as these consume less energy and are far less harmful to human eyes and body by virtue of their reduced emissions. The costs have also come down these days.

Switch to cloth napkins

At 2 cents per paper napkin your family can save $1.68 a week by switching to cloth. The paper industry contributes to forest clear cutting which results in erosion, sedimentation of streams and loss of habitat. Paper mills then use chlorine bleach to get paper it's whitest, releasing dioxins and mercury in waterways. Forgoing paper napkins also helps cut down on trash in landfills--about 40% of which is paper.
