Print using soy ink - This product has now become available and is much more eco-friendly than other inks that are based on volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, the drawback is that soy ink doesn't work very well in personal printers; you may be asked to give yours up.
Print Less - Printing costs are 5 percent equipment, 45 percent supplies, and 50 percent labor; reducing printing has a direct effect on all of these. In addition, paper is about 35 percent of our waste stream, so there's a big reduction in waste.
Use your gear longer - at most, only about 12 percent of computers and cell phones are recycled worldwide. We are going to have to bring that number up a little bit.
Change your operating system - As mentioned before, there's a good probability that a switch to Linux will double the lifespan of your machine.
Use an online FAX system - That clunky old machine might be going bye-bye, instead replaced with a online service such as GreenFax or MyFax that sends all incoming faxes to email addresses.
That's it! As we've said, there's a good chance that these might be the first steps. There will probably be many more to come.
