Replace Appliances
If you want to make your organisation more environmentally friendly, you need to think about replacing any old appliances with energy efficient ones. If you run a business that has a lot of equipment, then this might be quite costly, but it will be a really effective way of improving your energy efficiency and making an impact on saving the planet. Take a look online at the best equipment and its energy efficiency rating before buying any more equipment.
