Earth Day in the office

 

This Friday is Earth Day.  What a great time to show your support for the environment, but how?

Go paperless.

At home, change your billing choices to email vs. snail mail.

At work, ask customers if they would like to switch to paperless billing.  If your company offers an incentive for e-billing then this is a win for the customer and Mother Earth.

Tip: Be sure to ask politely and assertively.

Instead of saying:  “You've probably considered this already, but let me ask…”

Or “Hope you don’t mind, but let me ask if you would like…”

Try:  “While I have you on the phone, why don't I set you up to receive your invoices by email?   It’s good to the Earth and to your wallet."
