It is Earth Day once again. I try to practice Earth Day every day, not just today. My oldest grandson insisted several years ago that I start recycling at home and taking care of the planet so that long after I was gone, (his words, not mine) that there was an earth for him and his family to live on. I have a very small yard but I still manage to have a compost bucket and will for the first time get to use my own compost dirt in my container gardens this year.
I know, what does this have to do with being a paralegal? Using green measures at the office is just as important as at home. Most of us spend more time at the office than we do at home, I know I do, so why wouldn’t you do your part to help out? One of the things I do at the office is to turn off the lights when they are not needed. I don’t think we need lights on in rooms that are not occupied and I am forever going by a room and turning off the lights. I even shut them off when I leave at the end of the day, there is no need to light an office that no one is going to be in for the night! I don’t know about the state you live in, but California is energy poor and the price of using it keeps going up and up.
