How to Make Your Business Greener Today

 

With climate change becoming a more and more pressing issue, we should all start to take serious steps towards reducing our carbon footprint and the negative effects we have on the planet. Most people think that recycling and reusing plastic bottles at home are sufficient steps towards an eco-friendly lifestyle, but what about the workplace?

We should all consider the waste and pollution we create by driving to work every day, and take active action to eliminating the bad habits we all share. Making your business greener is not an impossible task if only you are willing to make a few small, but effective changes.

Carpool

Carpooling is a simple and pleasant solution for everyone who doesn’t want to let go of the comfort of driving to work, but still cares about the environment. Share your car with colleagues who live nearby and your daily commute to the office will become more pleasant and you will also enjoy quality time with co-workers.

Recycle

We all know that recycling is a necessary thing to do at home, but how many of us do it at work too? Your business will instantly become greener if you get everyone involved in recycling plastic bottles, aluminum cans, paper and cardboard. All you need to do is install some recycling bins and contract a company to take care of your materials.

Don’t waste electricity

It sounds simple, but most people don’t consider saving energy by turning off the computers, lights and other devices when they leave the office. Make sure you check that no unnecessary lights are on and make the best out of the natural light available.

Save batteries

Most of us recycle plastic and paper, but very few go through the trouble of recycling used batteries. Batteries contain corrosive acids and heavy metals and are a great source of pollution for the air, water, and soil. If disposed of in an irresponsible manner, batteries can do a lot of long term damage, so check out the places where you can recycle them safely.

Try reusable mugs

Instead of paper or plastic cups, encourage everyone to bring a reusable mug at the office, so you can cut down on the paper or plastic waste your business produces. It’s a simple, easy to implement solution to a very serious problem, so why not try it today?

We should all do our small part every day to make sure that we don’t contribute to the constant damage that the Earth suffers. The good news is that the process of preventing pollution at work is not rocket science!

The task of reducing the damage we do on the planet and making sure we do everything we can to protect it is not as difficult as it seems. If we all do our small part and extend our good habits to the office, not only at home, we will certainly see changes. If you still feel unconvinced, visit this helpful site dedicated to tips and tricks for recycling at work and you will find the right solution for your business.

 

 

 

 

Media Rookies: At Least Five Ways to Kill Your Interview

Media Rookies: At Least Five Ways to Kill Your Interview

It took 25 pounds of effort pushed into a 7-pound bag, but your big time media interview is happening tomorrow. You are such a captivating speaker that your electric charm and sparkle even resurrects the bleakest “dining-dead” special event banquet. So, there’s no need to worry about this game-changing exposure to thousands of potential clients. On the other hand, maybe it might be time to review your media training. Remember there are five things that will easily kill your interview.
1) Being late. The professionalism you intend to deliver to the client begins with the interviewer. Don’t forget, the host can flatten your interview if they are irritated by your punctuality and courtesy. Media hosts plan every second of their show, every minute matters.
2) ”Let me make a long story short!” You are not the editor! Make a short story shorter! The primary purpose of the interview should be describable with zero distractions from your intended point of impact. Concrete phrases like “$15 an hour” instead of “a livable wage increase,” delivers a concept with maximum impact plus it’s easy to remember.
3) Forgetting to tune, term and tone your presentation for your intended audience, not the host or interviewer. If you’re marketing to individuals already familiar with the industry, the tune may be more like “shop talk” sprinkled with familiar business terms. Also, the tone may be simple “light opinion” instead of a “winning advice” lecture.
4) Rejecting media coaching and training, and relying on your extensive credibility as a public speaker instead. Attempting to deliver on-the-spot media interviews often leads to public relations disasters. Delivering “fluster-free,” conversational media interviews requires training, practice, and preparation. Through training, you create the habit of establishing in advance the purpose of your story, the reason for the interview and the reporter’s expectations. This discipline increases your chance of appearing very relaxed and confident during your interview.
5) Repeating negative phrases or words used in a question by the reporter. Even if you disagree with the negative description, repeating it encourages the reporter to included it as a highlight of the interview. Making every effort to respond using positive terms keeps you in control of the narrative regarding your topic.
Paying attention to these suggestions, filling your responses with humor whenever appropriate and showing a pleasantly energetic attitude creates the best outcomes. Each interview can be a public relations nightmare or a positive upside opportunity.
