Firms that have taken steps to reduce their
environmental impact, such as purchasing a sustainable coffee machine, have been encouraged to keep an
eye on how much power they use.
According to Littlegreenblog.com, monitoring
energy usage can be a particularly good way of motivating members
of staff.
This, it said, is because setting targets can
add a "little competitive edge" to the workplace and deliver
tangible results.
Littlegreenblog.com stated that this could in
turn encourage employees to take some eco-friendly habits home,
thereby helping the planet even further.
"There is little use being green at work because you have to, then
not bothering to make lifestyle changes at home," it commented.
Littlegreenblog.com added that "knowledge is
power" when it comes to helping the planet, so knowing how much
energy they are using can help people make an actual difference to
their behaviour.
This comes shortly after the website advised businesses to get
staff more involved in efforts to encourage recycling.
