[Taiga Company blog by Julie Urlaub, Founder and Managing Partner at Taiga Compa…](http://blog.taigacompany.com/blog/sustainability-business-life-environment/1-quick-easy-and-effective-way-to-reduce-your-office-carbon-footprint-in-2012)

What is the quickest way for a business to go green? Exchange a sustainable or eco friendly alternative with a process or action you are already doing. 

 

Take for instance planning. Is your business planning for a low carbon 2012? When we think of planning we think of long term business strategies; but what about your planners? The actual pocket-sized [planners](http://www.dolphinblue.com/office-products-Desk-Pads-Calendars-Planners-Maps.html), desk pads, and poster-sized wall calendars that offices use daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly? 

 

When you consider that sustainable business strategies focus on reducing environmental impact, embracing responsible purchasing, raising employee's eco awareness, and demonstrating the company's broader corporate sustainability plan, it would make sense to explore how to take these high level sustainability concepts and pair them meaningfully in the business. Purchasing sustainable office supplies for 2012 makes the cut. How so?

 

Make every day purchases count. If you have an office, chances are you purchase paper, pens, toner, organizers, day timers, [planners](http://www.dolphinblue.com/office-products-Desk-Pads-Calendars-Planners-Maps.html), and such; make your purchases work for you and the planet while also raising the eco awareness of your employees.
