How does a small company get involved in going green?

Kristen H asked:
I am the marketing manager in a small multimedia company (under 20 people). We are looking to get involved environmentally, going GREEN. How can we get involved in a local community with little budget? Also, we are self-serving in the fact that we would like to get some recognition out of this.

Congrats. Self-serving is ok. Look at McDonald’s.
Look at everything. Paper going out.. recycle.
Incandescent bulbs? Replace with energy saving bulbs.
Water from sinks? (gray water) can be routed water the lawn or
collected for watering later.
Energy… well you know about solar etc.
You can also do a hard study on telecommute jobs.
Especially since you are a multimedia company.
What jobs can be done by people at home?
The reason I mention this is on Yahoo! Answers I see a question about every day on what jobs are out there for people who have
to stay at home for one reason or another.
There is a great source of personnel there for you, and I expect
it can save your company $$ too. Less cubes in the office etc.
good luck, I think you are great for making the effiort.

Start distributing press releases stating some sort of green goal. Recycled cans from a local school, restaurant, etc. Publicize it big and submit the release to all your local editors of the various medias.
A little national exposer couldn’t hurt either. Here’s a list to distribute your press release in general:

It is great to want to go green and be self serving. But, I would suggest you walk the talk before you go after press.

Thanks very much for sharing this interesting post. I am just starting up my own blog and this has given me inspiration to what I can achieve.

You can set up a recycling center in a common area and label each bin, glass, paper, plastic, etc. that would be something that everyone could participate in.Or maybe planting trees or doing a clean up.
