POLLUTION PREVENTION
By reducing the amount of energy your office consumes, you can help decrease the amount of fossil fuels burned to generate electricity while, at the same time, lower your monthly energy bill. The following energy saving P2 tips can help make your office more efficient:

• Turn off lights in rooms that are not in use like conference rooms and storage areas.
• Replace incandescent lights with energy efficient fluorescent lighting. Fluorescent bulbs are more expensive, but last up to 10 times longer and use about 1/4 the energy.
• Purchase office equipment, such as copiers, printers and computers, with power saving devices.

If half of all office copiers, for example, had power-saving devices, an estimated 35 billion kilowatt hours of electricity could be saved, the equivalent of 20 million barrels of oil a year.
