Work from home is the new norm as it offers advantages beyond flexibility and convenience. Remote setups have its environmental benefits too, and we can maximize this by doing these tips.
Unplug Equipment When Not in Use
It should be common practice to unplug or shut down the equipment that you are not using. You are saving money while also cutting down on energy usage. The gadgets you have at home that remain plugged even when not in use are what they call energy vampires, since they suck power from outlets even when they are turned off, leading to higher electrical costs. It’s a good idea to invest in smart plugs to cut off energy flow from outlets that are connected.
Pick an Area with Good Lighting
Use natural light instead of lightbulbs. Choosing an area that has a lot of natural light for your home workspace is an easy way to cut down on energy consumption and electricity costs. It also provides you with sufficient lighting so that you won’t get eye strain. You can also choose to invest in LED lights that are star certified as they are energy efficient and have longer lifespans compared to the normal lightbulb.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Integrating the 3 R’s in your flat at Hudson Place Residences can reduce your carbon footprint. Reduce means why make waste when you can avoid it? Reuse items that you have in your condo like bottles to conserve the resources you have. Recycle and give old items a new purpose instead of throwing them out like old shirts as rags or bottles as pots for plants.
Digitalize and Be Paper-free
With technology, you can go paperless to lessen the trees that are being cut to produce paper as you can digitize everything and do them online. You can turn signatures, notes, documents and files digital and if you can opt not to print and try taking that option as much as you can.
