ECC and HBC Green Project Progress Updates

Are you a creature of habit? I know I am, and so are most of the staff here at HBC.

As the ECC continues to quest towards a greener office we find that our habits are a weakness. We know at the end of the day remembering to shutoff the printer before you leave is not always your highest priority. To help keep everyone thinking green, ECC members have been sending out email reminders and posting signs on light switches and equipment as a friendly reminder to shut it off when not in use. It seems to be making an impact. We are finding fewer monitors and lights left on!

In other news, we continue to evaluate paperless order and paperless administration processes in hopes that we can, in the near future, switch to a secure digital process replacing our current paper forms. On the customer side we continue to encourage our friends to switch to paperless billing and have reduced our printed manuals and booklets substituting for electronic versions instead.

Did you know:

2 billion disposable razors end up in landfills per year! You can help: Either buy a razor with a recyclable handle or if you're really tough, go for a strait razor that can be sharpened as needed.
