Iindlela Ezinkulu Zokuhlaziya Ibhizinisi Lakho

by USusan Ward

Ukutshintshiselwa ibhizinisi lakho akusiyo kuphela indawo enokusingqongileyo, kunokunyusa ukuthengisa .

Abathengi baqhubela phambili befunda ngefuthe lokusingqongileyo lwemisebenzi yabantu. Uphando lwehlabathi lonke ngo-2014 lubonise ukuba ama-55% wabathengi azimisele ukuhlawula amaxabiso aphezulu kwimpahla nakwiinkonzo ezivela kwiinkampani ezinobungcali bezoshishino. Ucwaningo olufanayo ngo-2013 ngoCone Communications luthi "abangama-71% aseMerika bajonga ingingqi xa bethengisa, ukusuka kuma-66% ngo-2008".

Ngokubandakanya iinkqubo ze-eco-friendly kwi-shishini lakho uncedisa umgca ophantsi kunye nendalo. Gcina ukhumbule ukuba iinzame zakho "zokuluhlaza" izenzo zakho zoshishino kufuneka zinyaniswe ukuba uyazishumayela. Abathengi banomdla wokubahlwaya amashishini ukuba baziva bekhohlisiwe ngamabango amanga okuzinzileyo (okubizwa ngokuba yi "greenwashing ").

Funda indlela 'yokuluhlaza' ishishini lakho kwaye uphumelele abathengi kwiilayidi ezilandelayo.

01 - Shiya iCar ekhaya

Nangona iimoto kunye namaloli afikelela malunga neepesenti ezingama-20 zazo zonke i-US ukukhishwa kweMntla yaseMerika kubonakala kungenakucala ukuhamba kunye nokuhamba kwabo kwemoto yansuku zonke. Ingxelo yakutshanje kaBrian McKenzie we-US Census Bureau yafumanisa ukuba iipesenti ezingama-86 zabasebenzi base-US zisasaza ukusebenza kwisithuthi kwaye ngaphezulu kwama-75 ekhulwini ukuqhuba yodwa.

Ukushiya imoto ekhaya kunye nokuhamba okanye ukuhamba ngebhayisikili ukusebenzela kusebenza kakuhle kunye nokufanelekileyo kwimeko. Ukuba awunasetyenziselwa ukuba umcimbi uqalise ukukhawuleza. Zenza ukuzibophezela ukwenza njalo iintsuku ezimbalwa ngeveki, okanye ukuba imida ibanzi kakhulu, cinga ukuhamba ngeendlela ezithile.

Ukuthatha isantya kukuphilile (cinga ukuhamba ukuya / ukusuka kwizitima zebhasi kunye / okanye izitishi zangasese) kunye nokusingqongileyo, kunye nexabiso eliphantsi kunokuba uthathe imoto ukusebenza.

Njengomnini-shishini okhangela indawo entsha yezoshishino , qwalasela indawo enokufikelela ngokulula kwiindlela zokuhamba ngebhayisikili okanye ukuhamba, kwaye ukhuthaze abasebenzi ukuba bahambe, ibhayisikili, bathabathe i-transit, okanye i-carpool ukuba isebenze. Ukubonelela ngeendawo zokuhamba ngebhayisikili kunye neendlela zokuhamba ezixhaswayo. I-"Shiya iCar ekhaya" kwaye ujonge ukunceda ukusingqongileyo.

02 - Umsebenzi ovela kwi-Ofisi yakho yasekhaya

Kungcono kunokuba uhambe, uqhuba ibhizinisi lakho kwiofisi yakho yasekhaya yindlela enhle yokuhamba "eluhlaza". Ngenxa yokwanda kwezixhobo eziphathekayo kunye nevidiyo ye-intanethi ye-intanethi ayikho mfuneko kwiintlanganiso ezininzi zezoshishino ukuba zijongane, ngoko kutheni ungenzi inxalenye yakho ukunciphisa izithuthi kunye nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi ephezulu? Kwaye kunye neofisi yasekhaya exhotyiswe ngokufanelekileyo akukho sizathu sokuba awukwazi ukuhlangabezana nabaxhasi ekhaya lakho .

Ukuthetha ukususela kwiminyaka yamava ukuya eofisini izakhiwo ukuchitha imini kwipulazi enkulu ye-cubicle, xa ndinike ithuba lokuba ndizenzele ithuba lokusebenza ekhaya.

Ukongeza kwiingeniso zokusingqongileyo, ukusebenza kwishishini lasekhaya linenzuzo yeerhafu ezininzi . Ukumisela iofisi yekhaya okokuqala? Nakhu okufuneka ukwazi .

03 - Uphule umlingo woLungiso

Ngelixa abaninzi bethu bathanda ukucinga ukuba sikulungele ukuphinda sisebenze kwakhona kwaye ukuququzelelwa kwenyaniso kukuba ukuba ngokwe-NationalMaster iinombolo zaseMntla Amerika ziqhubeka zivelisa udoti ngaphezu kwanoma ngubani.

Ukunceda ukusingqongileyo ngokunciphisa iindlela zokungcola ekunciphiseni umlutha wethu kwimveliso yokulahla kunye nokusetyenziswa komnye. Umzekelo omhle yi-cup-single cup cup makers manje abonwa kwiiofisi ezininzi. Ikhofu enkulu yekhofi rhoqo iyakwenza ngaphezu kwekhulu iikomityi ngenxalenye yexabiso le-coffee-pod non-recyclable kunye nekhofi engenanto inokubuyiswa kwakhona.

Ngaphandle kokubonelela ngeebhanki zokuvuselela, hlalutya indawo yakho ye-ofisi kwaye uqwalasele zonke iindlela onokunciphisa inkunkuma:

Khuthaza abasebenzi ukuba bazise zabo iikomityi kunye neebhotile zamanzi (kwakhona endaweni yokusebenzisa iikomityi zephepha kunye nokuthenga iibhotile zamanzi eplastiki)
Ukuba unesikethi yeofisi kubasebenzi basebenzisa izikhupha ezinobuncwane kunezidibaniso endaweni yokusetyenziswa kwezinto ezingasetyenziswayo.

Yenza iofisi yakho "ipapa"

Nazi iingubo ezingaphezulu kwe-30 zokukhuphula iofisi yakho .

04 - Ukuthengwa kwamaGreen

Enye yezona ndlela ezilungileyo zokwenza ibhizinisi lakho libe nobungqina bemeko-mngeni kukusebenzisa ukuthenga okuluhlaza. Oku kubandakanya ukukhangela iimpahla kunye neenkonzo eziveliswa kwaye zinikezelwa ngendlela egcinekayo. Ukuthengwa kwabathengisi bendawo kunokuba kuveliswe okukude kuyindlela efanelekileyo yokuqala; ubona i -100 Mile Diet kwiShishini elincinci .

Ukuphonononga imigaqo-nkqubo yokuthengwa kwempahla, kwaye uqinisekise ukuba iimpahla ezithengiweyo:

Zenziwe ngeendlela ezizinzileyo
Ungenazo izinto ezinobungozi okanye izinto ezonakalisa i-ozone
Unokuphinda usetyenziswe kwakhona kwaye / okanye ukhutshwa kwizinto eziphinda zenziwe kwakhona
Zenziwe kwizinto ezivuselelekayo (ezifana ne-bamboo, njl.)
Musa ukusebenzisa ukupakishwa okugqithisileyo
Zilungiselelwe ukulungiswa kwaye "azikhohlisi"

05 - Uncedo lweNgqongileyo kunye neNqabileyo encinci

Enye yezinto ezinobungqambileyo endazibonayo malunga nokulungiswa kwekhaya nakwizentengiselwano yindleko yempahla ephathekayo eya kwiifom. Oku kuzukisiwe kwimibukiso yechungechunge yasekhaya nakumabonakude ebonisa ukuba iinkontrakthi zidiliza iikhabinethi ezilungele ukulungiswa ngokufanelekileyo, izibhedlele, izindlu zangasese njl.

Oku kuhlazo, njengoko ezi zinto zinganikezelwa kwimibutho yokunceda njengeHabitat for Humanity. I-Habitat ithatha yonke into kwizinto ezisetyenzisiweyo ukuya kwisitye esetyenziswayo kwaye iyithengisa ukuba iphinde isetyenziswe, rhoqo ngonyaka igcina amashumi eetoni eziphathekayo eziphuma kwiifomflethi. Imali isetyenziselwa ukuxhaswa ukwakhiwa kweeprojekthi zezindlu eziphantsi kwezindlu ezihlala kuyo.

Ngexesha elizayo indawo yeshishini lakho lifuna ukulungiswa, sebenzisa ikontraka enokwakheka kwisakhiwo esiluhlaza njenge-LEED uqinisekiso oluqinisekisiweyo kunye nokufumanisa ukuba ziphi na izixhobo ezinokusetyenziswa ziyakunikwa kwaye zinikelwe. Umama umhlaba kunye noluntu lwakho luya kubulela ngalo.

06 - Ukunciphisa Ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi

Kungakhathaliseki ukuba ukholelwa kutshintsho lwemozulu okanye kungekho into yokuba akukho nto iphikisayo kwiminyaka embalwa edluleyo eyona yimbi ekhompyutheni entshonalanga yeMelika - nje ubuze abantu baseCalifornia, abaye baqhubeka bexhomekeke kwiimeko zesomiso ukususela ngo-2011. oomasipala baye bamisela ukulungiswa kwamanzi amaninzi.

Kodwa ingaba ishishini lakho lisendaweni yenkomfa okanye ayikho, ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi yindlela enye ecacileyo yokugcina imali kunye nokunceda ukugcina isisiseko esibalulekileyo.

Izindlela onokunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi kwiindawo zeshishini lakho zibandakanya:

Ukulungisa iipompo zokubhola, ukuvuza kwamanzi kunye nokufaka izindlu zangasese ezihamba ngezantsi kunye nezixhobo zokuhamba eziphantsi kwamanzi kwiindawo zokuhlamba.
Ukuba ishishini lakho liye lahlela umhlaba, cinga ukuhambela kwi-design design. Ukuba isebenzisa inkqubo yokufafaza ekuguquleni kwinkqubo yokuxhoma iya kunciphisa kakhulu ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi. Qinisekisa ukuba inkqubo yokufafaza igcinwe kakuhle kwaye ihlengahlengi kwaye inezixhobo zemvula (ngoko ayisebenziyo xa ilinayo).
Ukuba ishishini linamaziko okuhlamba amanxeba qinisekisa ukuba i-washhers i-Star Star ilinganiswe kwaye inexabiso elingaphantsi kwamanzi.
Sebenzisa umbane wokucoca umbane ophezulu wokucoca imisebenzi kunokuba ifowuni idityaniswe kwipompo-iya kufumana umsebenzi ngokukhawuleza kwaye isebenzise amanzi amaninzi.

07 - Ukunciphisa isakhiwo sakho soMbane

Ngokwe-Environmental Environmental and Energy Institute (I-EESI) izakhiwo zee-39 zepesenti ze- Carbon Dioxide e-US (i-total figure is approximately 30 per cent). Enye yeencomo ezininzi ezivela kwiNgqungquthela yokuTshintsho kwemozulu ka-2015 (COP21) kwakukunqumla ukukhutshwa kwamakhaya nezakhiwo ngama-50 pesenti ngo-2030.

Ukuqhuba ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwesakhiwo kuye kwabangela icandelo elikhulayo ngokukhawuleza ukwakhiwa kokwakha. Izindlela zokwakha izindlu zeNet-zero kunye ne-Passive zisebenzisa iibhola ze-super-insulated, zangasese ezindizayo, iifestile ezisezantsi, kunye neendlela zokuhamba kwamandla ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamandla ngama-80-90 ekhulwini kwizakhiwo eziqhelekileyo. Ukongeza ii-heaters zamanzi zelanga okanye amandla elanga kunokunciphisa ngakumbi.

Ukuba uyakha indawo yakho yoshishino ukususela kutheni ungabandakanyi iimpawu zokusebenza kwamandla kagesi? Okanye ukuba uhlaziya isakhiwo esele senza kangangoko uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali luvumela. Qinisekisa ukuba uphando ngeembuyekezo ezahlukahlukeneyo kunye neenkqubo zokukhuthaza eziza kunikwa kwiphondo okanye iphondo lakho ukuphucula ukukhupha, ukufaka iindlela ezintsha ze-HVAC, ii-panel panels, njl.

08 - Phinda usebenzise iWindows

Ngokwe-Electronics Take Back Coalition, ngaphezu kweetoni ezimbini zezigidi ze-E-nkunkuma zilahliwe minyaka yonke e-US, kwaye i-27% kuphela iphindwa kwakhona . I-E-waste e-Non-recycled i-E-waste isiphelela kwiifayili zomhlaba, ichithwe, okanye ingathunyelwa ngaphandle kwamanye amazwe kumazwe athuthukayo.

Ukuba ishishini lakho libuyisela izinto ezifana nekhompyutha, i-computers, iipilisi, ii-smartphones, njl. Njll ezingaphantsi kweminyaka emi-5 ubudala, amathuba anokuthi asetyenziswe kwakhona zizikolo okanye zoncedo kwindawo yakho.

Ngaphandle koko, abenzi beekhompyutheni ezifana neDell ne-HP baneeprojekhthi zokuvuselela iinkqubo ezivumela i-credit nge-trade-ins kwizinto ezisetyenzisiweyo kunye neeprogram zokunceda. I-eBay ye-Charity ivumela uludwe lwezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo kwi-eBay kunye nemali eya kwiingeniso-nzuzo okanye ezizibonelelo.

Abathengisi be-Electronics ezifana ne-BestBuy kunye ne-Staples nabo baneenkqubo zokuthengisa kwii-elektroniki ezisetyenziselwa imali okanye ukubuyisela kwakhona amacebo asekudala angenakusetyenziswa kwakhona.

Qinisekisa ukuba ususa yonke inkcazelo echaphazelekayo kunoma iyiphi idivayisi ngaphambi kokuba uyibuyisele kwakhona! (Jonga indlela yokuSula iTrans Drive.)

Ukugcina izixhobo zakho zecomputer kwipropati ye-landfill yindlela enkulu yokunceda ukusingqongileyo (kwaye mhlawumbi uzuze uncedo).

09 - Shintsha kwi-Cloud Computing

Ukongeza kwezinye iindidi ezininzi ze- Cloud Computing kumashishini amancinci, ukufudukela efini kungabalungela ukusingqongileyo. Izicelo ezinjenge-Google ezifana ne-Google Apps, i-Apple iCloud kunye neMicrosoft Office 365 zivumela abasebenzi ukuba bahlanganyele kwaye bafikelele ulwazi kuyo yonke indawo, banokunciphisa iindleko zokuhamba kunye nesidingo sokunyanga okukhuphela kwamaxwebhu.

Kwaye ngenxa yokuba ulwazi lwenziwa kwifu akukho mfuneko yoshishino lakho ukuthenga nokugcina izixhobo zeseva ezibiza kakhulu (ezisebenzisa umbane ophezulu). Akunakuze ufune iikhomputer zekhompyutha kwakhona - amadivayisi eselula angakwazi ukufikelela kwiedatha yakho efwini kwaye unokukwazi ukunyamekela zonke izidingo zakho zekhompuyutha.
