LOL. At work, we use mugs & glasses instead of disposable cups. Almost everything is recycled! And yes, anyone who throws a soda can, newspaper, paper or cardboard in the trash gets lectured and has to pick it out. Some people like to fight about this issue, which doesn't make sense. I say stand your ground; it's amazing how the movement does start to grow. Now everyone in our office participates in recycling!!! I agree with the comment posted from Green&Clean- it is amazing how much of a reduction in waste there is. Now, we've got to work within our neighborhoods to get this movement going further.

We use only CFL bulbs in the office and i use them in my home too. We have company mugs that we gave to each employee to use for coffee and we ditched those paper cups. Even though we were recycling them, I feel like the reduction of waste was better in the long run. I have noticed that a majority of the employees have adopted these practices in their home life too. They are starting to bring lunches in re usable, washable containers rather than the disposable, and they carpool. We as business owners have to set the example and follow it. Others will see you success and join the going green movement We are a small company that has gone green. We use only CFL bulbs in the office and i use them in my home too.
