Go Green with your Business and Save

Green living is the new buzz-word and most of us are eager to protect the environment as best we can...as long as it doesn't cost us a fortune. YUDU Media has just released a new e-book, "You Can't Afford Not to Be Green," which lists 51 ways that your business can save money AND save the planet at the same time. The majority of these apply to home-based businesses. A few of the book's suggestions include:

• Putting PCs and monitors automatically on sleep, by using the PC's power-management settings can bring an annual energy savings of around $100-$200 per unit.
  
  
• Cutting your electricity bill by up to 15% by switching off unneeded lights, with automatic timers, detectors and switches
  
  
• Using solar-charging cell-hones, satnav units, PDAs and other hand-held devices.
  
  
• Harnessing the many tax breaks available to businesses that use greener and more energy-efficient products. (more on this in a future blog post)
  
  
• Avoiding the print, paper and postage costs of traditional publishing by switching to the new generation of digital brochures, catalogues and leaflets.
