Turning your home business into an environmentally friendly one is helpful for the earth as well as your piggy bank. Below are 3 quick changes you can make in your working day that will help turn your craft business into a more eco-friendly one.

Turn it Off!

Countless fax machines, copiers, and personal computers remain powered on overnight around the world. Turning off your electrics when you’re finished working can help cut your energy use by 50%.

Recycle!

Most businesses throw out old printer paper by the masses on a daily basis—don’t make the same mistake! While some papers hold sensitive material, most of the waste generated is just ordinary paper. Try tossing old documents into the recycling can rather than the trash can whenever you can.  If recycling isn’t possible for your home business, try double siding documents to save what paper you can.

Buy Green!

It is just as good as ordinary copy paper, and it is more environmentally friendly.  Sure, it may look a little different, but since most documents you print will be used for business filing, who cares what color that paper is?
