We are having this contest at work right now to see who can come up with the best idea to help the store. Whoever wins gets a $100 gift card to the store. Help me!
We have already changed our light bulbs, and install motion lights for the restrooms and offices. We also sell and encourage people to use reusable bags and give them five cents for each one they bring back.
How could we save money on labor, bills, etc

We have lots of milk and juice containers and have to store them until we drive to the recyling center. We use plastic bags or bins but they take up a lot of room. Any ideas on how to store them until we go to the recycling center?
Plastic does not crush well – tends to retain it shape! My husband drinks tow gallons each week and that is way too many to make into recycled projects such as bird feeders, scoops, ice jugs, etc. etc. etc

Irmie asked:


We are trying to show our co-workers how to go ‘green’ in the office. If we could give them some good examples of why recycling/re-using makes sense it would be helpful. Like for example, what is the real cost of producing a paper clip? Or a manila folder? From raw material to processing to packaging to transport to when it ends up in a trash can?

JennyLane asked:


I work at a specialty running store and for the month of April we want to launch a more environmentally friendly way of doing things, not only within the store but directly with customers. We have done away with our big plastic bags and have invested in canvas/organic reuseable bags. But of course we would like to do a lot more. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
