Cool Down at Work
Don't get in hot water at work. All of our office buildings have hot water heaters, just like our homes and apartments. But, unlike our abodes, these hot water heaters don't need to be quite so warm. So, unless you're showering or washing clothes on the job, turn down the temperature of your hot water heater at work. Most offices just need warm water to wash hands; therefore, we can save energy (and boost the bottom line) by lowering the temp a few degrees. You may have to contact the maintenance crew to make this happen, but it'll be worth it (in more ways than one).

This one is very near and dear to my heart, because I am a hairstylist. I work at a very high end salon and spa... that means water for shampooing, rinsing, conditioning, footbaths, pedicures, manicures, body treatments, showers for after-spa use, and the big time killer...laundry. We use alot of water! However, I cant be all mad bc we are an aveda salon and our company is working to be 100% wind powered at all our manufacturing companies, also all of our products are plant based that biodegrade seamlessly and we use post consumer products to make alot of our products as well. We'll keep working hard on the water though!
