Saving your company money is easier than you think...
There are many things every business can do to conserve energy and reduce green house gases.

1. Support political candidates that are serious about solving this global problem.  As Americans, it is our heritage and our duty to provide leadership and innovation to help solve problems that affect the world community.  New legislation will help reduce the costs of energy efficiency for your business and speed up ROI.

2.  Change a Light bulb.. better yet, Change them all!  

3.  Unplug anything not being used.. like wall chargers (cell phone/PDA), electronics (DVD, stereo equipment).  Turn off computers at night or when not used for long periods.  Use laptop computers for your staff.  For convenience, plug seldom used electronics into a common power strip to turn on and off with one switch.

4.  Install a programmable thermostat and keep it set on 78 degrees for cooling when home and program it to 82 when no one is in the office.

4.  Recycle everything you can... Contact your local waste company to order recycle bins for: glass, aluminum, paper.  Recycle toner cartridges at work, donate or re-use old business furniture or an old fleet vehicle.

5.  Have an Energy Audit done on your business and make the changes that are feasible.. start with the easy stuff.  Many local power companies do these audits for free or you can hire a local certified energy auditor.. the money you save will be worth the effort.  Contact Your Local Energy Utility for a Free Energy Audit. 

6.  Purchase alternative energy technologies and support the the innovation and development of clean sources of energy. 

7.  Install a Solar Photovoltaic system to power your business.  Prices are continuing to drop rapidly and there are many Government tax incentives that will significantly reduce the cost.. and as energy costs continue to rise you will recover the investment much sooner than you think.  After that, it's free, clean energy!

8.  Install a Solar Water Heater or used reclaimed water on your property for landscape and toilets.

9. Purchase Hybrid vehicles or other highly fuel efficient fleets!

10.
  Keep your tires properly inflated.. this could save millions of barrels of oil.
