Help Protect the Bay
Our everyday actions—from fertilizing our lawns to driving our cars—have a major impact on the Bay. But by making simple changes in our lives, each one of us can take part in restoring the Bay and its rivers for future generations.
Support Work From Home Days
Workers can cut back on in-office energy use and emissions by working from home.
Delete Old Emails and Files
Digital files are stored in data centers which require a lot of energy to power and are often built over forests. Reduce reliance on data centers by deleting emails and unused files from your computer and website.
Go Green During Work Events
Encourage the use of reusable dishes, cups and silverware during work events. Bring in a compost bin for food scraps and drop them off at a composting site.
Swap Products With Co-workers
Cut back on consumption and waste by giving away household items to co-workers.
Volunteer With Co-workers
Find an environmental organization near you and invite your co-workers to a volunteer opportunity.
Encourage Co-workers to Recycle
Help co-workers recycle more by providing more recycling bins and giving information about what is and isn’t recyclable.
Go Paperless
Reduce the amount of waste produced at the office by emailing documents, sharing electronic files and reviewing documents on a screen instead of printing when possible.
Reduce Emissions From Commuting
To cut back on the emissions caused by commuting, work from home or bike, take public transit, carpool or walk to work.
Power Off at the End of Day
Save energy by shutting down your computer, powering off your monitor and turning off the lights when you leave the office for the day.
