Working Green: How to Embrace a Greener Work Lifestyle
In today's world, "going green" is a movement gaining significant traction?"and for good reason. With climate change on the rise and numerous animal species facing extinction, it's crucial to rethink how we treat our planet. One way to contribute positively is by adopting a greener approach to our work lives.
The Green Benefits of Virtual Work
As highlighted in Backpacker magazine's Global Warming issue, working and hiring virtually can significantly reduce our environmental impact. Here’s how:
- Reduced Carbon Emissions: If you drive 30 miles each way to work, your vehicle could emit around 9,860 pounds of carbon annually. By switching to virtual work, both you and your virtual assistant could save a combined total of about 19,720 pounds of carbon emissions each year.
- Cutting Down on Paper Use: Traditional offices consume vast amounts of paper. At Team Double-Click, a completely virtual business, our paper usage has drastically decreased from 10 cases a month to just 2 reams.
- Less Fast-Food Waste: Working in an office often leads to more fast-food consumption, generating significant carbon emissions. Virtual workers tend to eat at home, using reusable containers and reducing waste.
- Reduced Energy and Material Use: Virtual offices benefit from digital fax and phone systems, which lower electricity use and paper waste. Plus, fewer trips to daycare reduce emissions from commutes, and there's less need for carbon-intensive dry cleaning.
- Saving Green Space: By reducing the demand for office buildings, we conserve green spaces and minimize the carbon footprint associated with construction and materials.
Choosing Eco-Friendly Options
Virtual work also allows for the selection of sustainable office supplies, such as green desks and packaging. Not to mention, the lifestyle change often sparks envy in those tied to a physical office.
Making a Difference
Working and hiring virtually offers a substantial reduction in ozone-depleting greenhouse gases. Since 2000, Team Double-Click has proudly embraced virtual work, contributing to a healthier planet for future generations.
