Most offices around the world are buried in paper. Endless filing cabinets containing hundreds or thousands of pounds of paper documents crowd the walls and halls of offices. Even more paper documents are printed and copied to be mailed to other businesses or individuals and added to their endless collection.
Sometimes the little things count for a lot. Everyone knows cell phone chargers and televisions use a small amount of electricity even when not in use. This is known as phantom power. The simple solution to that waste is the installation of power strips that are easily accessible to switch on and off as needed. Not so easy if the power robber is your computer.
The home or office computer has become the most-used electrical device in most parts of the world. It is how we communicate, study, research, create, schedule and otherwise manage our lives and businesses.
The US Smart Grid is coming; quickly. Of all expected green initiatives, the smart electrical grid may be one of the fastest moving to date. Consumers are ready for the energy savings and more people are becoming realistic about what needs to happen to help heal our environment. The smart grid will offer both.
Paper products are among the most widely used consumer products on earth. Everything from printer paper to toilet paper to cardboard is used by all of us everyday. An increasing number of paper products made from recycled paper and fibers are now available. Most contain a percentage of recycled fibers mixed with new fibers and some are made from 100% recycled fibers.
