Make your office greener with these easy steps

If you're into trying to save resources at your office or you own a small business, cost cutting is probably one of your overall goals. It's something not many of us think about, but finding ways to conserve energy and resources -- and attributing a cost to that effort -- can really make a monetary difference.
