Frequently Asked Questions



Q. We lease space in a large office building. Can we still green our office?

A. Yes! Regardless of your lease situation, there are a lot of things that you can do to reduce your environmental impact, even if you don’t have direct control over your facilities. From reducing your paper use to offsetting your travel, all of the choices that you make can really add up. Plus, you shouldn’t underestimate the power that you have as tenants – if you’re interested in greening your office, it’s likely that other tenants are as well. Enlist their support to lobby your property management company for changes. The Green Office Handbook will show you how to achieve the greenest office possible, regardless of your arrangement.

Q. How can greening our office save money? Aren’t green products more expensive?

A. Greening an office is first and foremost about conservation. Using less paper, for example, saves money. Though paper with recycled content and other eco-friendly products sometimes cost more than their traditional counterparts, most companies that undertake a greening effort find that they save money overall, thanks to their efforts to reduce and conserve resources. Green companies also realize other benefits, like a healthier workplace, higher productivity, and a boost in their ability to recruit new employees.

Q. My company has more than one office. Does each office need its own copy of The Green Office Handbook? Do you offer quantity discounts?

A. It's important that every office have its own copy of The Green Office Handbook, as each office can be a little bit different. Also, with its own copy of the Handbook, each office can track its individual results. We offer discounts on purchases of 5 or more Handbooks.
