Recognize Earth Day by testing a new activity or practice for a day or week to see if it's something your organization might want to continue. For example:
Flip the Switch: Try turning out lights from 12-1 to see if there are areas of your facility that may not need them on all the time.
Compost: Collect food waste separately to get a sense of volume and consider an onsite composting
tumbler.
Commute options: Encourage employees to try out public transportation, carpooling, biking or other alternatives to driving to work.
