Here’s another one (you may already know this and be doing it) Turning your computers off at night will save about $28 per computer per year in electricity. Plus you do not have the a/c running to compensate for the heat the computer puts off. Plus you would think that the computer would last longer.

@Maria @ Hot Tanning Beds, thats great to hear. So many companies don’t take advantage of the internet and utilizing it’s abilities to reduce paper usage and they should.

These are great tips that almost any business can utilize. Especially cutting down on paper – my office communicates primarily by email, Yahoo Messenger and through system updates on our internal network to use the least amount of paper as possible. Plus it’s much easier to find things that way as well. Props to you for going green!

@MichaelR, we really even haven't taken the correct steps to inform out customers that we are Going Green, we are taking it one step at a time to make sure we can sustain the process effectively.

Great to see something like a tanning salon doing its share to help save the planet. I am pretty sure most of your customers will appreciate your work. Keep it up John.

@Ms. Freeman, the one challenge that it creates is that it causes our stand-up tanning booths to run hotter, we have had to make some a/c and venting changes to compensate for the heat increase because of safety reasons.

Another thing that stinks about it is that here in Florida it gets mega hot around 3pm, if we don’t jump start the AC units they can keep up in the later hours.

One challenge at a time though.

@scheng1, another great option. Dave also mentioned an excellent digital fax service above that we are going to try as well.

@Trey – Swollen Thumb Entertainment, thats another thing that pisses me off. How can people be so pissy or against doing something that MIGHT help a situation that is obviously out of control.

@SafariDave, thank you Dave I appreciate it.

@SafariDave, such an excellent point Dave. So many people instantly say to me how expensive it is to Go Green, I disagree. I think there is tremendous savings opp when you look at the reduction in paper and ink alone, we are in the final process of removing all fax machines, copy machines and printers at each location.

The savings in paper and ink are huge.

@Nehh, all very good points. We already made the switch to all LCD monitors from traditional CRT monitors. Thats an excellent tip I should have included in the post, thank you.
