I would guess that most of us are at least conscious of and trying to lead \u00abgreener\u00bb lives in general, but have you thought about how to be more environmentally-friendly while working?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the office, this could be somethings as simple as only turning on the light when it is absolutely necessary, or installing a thermostat on the heater that can either be programmed or remote-controlled to turn on only when needed and only to a temperature that’s comfortable and appropriate (i.e. there is no need to turn the office into a sauna and wear a t-shirt in winter – sweaters are there for a reason \ud83d\ude09 ).
Using eco-friendly paper and stationary with a lighter paper weight and printing only what’s really necessary as well as using writing utensils with non-toxic ink are also ways to reduce your carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And while there isn’t the usual volume of interpreting going on right now, and none of it in person in a booth, this may just be the perfect time to think and talk about developing a sustainable lifestyle when out and about. How about you? Do you have any more tips and ideas on how to have a more sustainable working lifestyle?

Andrew Gillies wrote an excellent article for aiic’s \u00abFlux\u00bb <\/a>called \u00abThe green interpreter<\/a>\u00bb in which he mentions different options interpreters have to contribute to a better environment, such as bringing your own reusable water bottle and coffee cup, using less paper and if possible using scrap paper, as well as sustainable travel tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
