Do I really need that extra hard copy for my files? Do I need that extra large parts inventory? Can I telecommute to work once a week? Buy recycled content copy paper if you are not doing so already. Think about making the switch to one or two other recycled products and then talk to someone who is using the product you want to try. Buy environmentally friendly cleaning products.
Avoid products that don't stand up to your quality expectations. Test products or get a recommendation before making major purchases.
