A Greener Office

Well, it's another Friday. As always, I'm anxiously awaiting the weekend - precisely for the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors. Like many people out there, I work in an indoor office environment all week long, and as I type along and attend meetings, I quietly crave the sunshine and warm breezes experienced on the other side of the window.

Eventually there comes a point when I can't be quiet about it anymore! Hence, this blog post. I've gotta have my "nature," and so I'm here to gather ideas about making the work place more friendly for naturalists and outdoor enthusiasts like me.

Here's a few suggestions on making the office a little more "green":

• Bring fresh flowers or potted plants into your office or cubical. Cleaner air = clearer minds.
  
• Decorate your walls (Beautiful Mind-style) with images of landscapes and wildlife.
• Use dry-erase marker boards instead of paper for temporary notes.
• Buy an office mat made of eco-friendly materials, such as this mat made out of 100% Anji Mountain bamboo. This durable wood mat will bring the beauty of natural bamboo into your cubical. The best part is that this one and other bamboo mats like it are made from a sustainable wood resource, so you're doing something good for the environment.
• Take those few extra steps to the recycling bin instead of tossing that pop can into the trash. If your company doesn't have a recycling program, start one.
• Take a walk outside - alone or with co-workers - to soak in a little vitamin D and a cheerful attitude.
  

These are my thoughts so far on making the office more green. I'd love to hear yours.

Happy Outdoor Weekend!
