he office has always been a place to getahead（领先）.Unfortunately, it is also a place where a lot of natural resources start tofall behind. Take a look around next time you’re at work. See how many lightsare left on when people leave. See how much paper is being wasted, how muchelectricity is being used to run computers that are left on. Look at how muchwater is being wasted in the restrooms. And how much solid waste is beingthrown out in the rubbish cans. We bet it’s a lot.
Now here are some simple ways you can produce less waste at work.When you are at the copier, only make the copies you need. Use both sides ofthe paper when writing something less important. Turn off the lights when youleave. Use a lower watt bulb(灯泡) in your lamp. Drink your coffee or tea out of your mugs insteadof single-use cups. Set up a recycling box for cans and one for bottles. Andwhen you’re in the bathroom brushing your teeth or waving your face, don’t letthe tap run. Remember, if we use fewer resources today, we’ll save more fortomorrow.
