How to create a better office environment with furniture, supplies, and products

Some very cool news straight from our green guru pals over at TreeHugger. In just 5 short days a new kind of Chamber of Commerce is opening for business; The Green Chamber. This is huge, exciting news for both businesses and environmental advocates.

What does this mean to you? TreeHugger notes that "Green-leaning" businesses nationally are going to benefit from member services such as:

"Ready access to a wealth of online resources such as detailed membership lists from which to network with those of like interests; organize amongst themselves; post jobs, and more; promote novel ideas and initiatives; and more."

Customers and employees alike are looking at green friendly businesses as places where they want to shop and work. The new Green Chamber is going to introduce membership that's contingent upon passing a certification process. Improved sustainability practices and productivity optimization are going to be key points of the Green Chamber.

If your company hasn't already begun to green up each office space this is a great time to start.

Personally I'm thrilled. A new organization like this has been a long time coming. I have a feeling this will push green office products and decor like eco-paints and salvaged materials more into the mainstream. I'm hoping that this will serve to lower green office products costs and make them more readily available. 

If you haven't already guessed I'm all for green office spaces. Each week I'll be bringing you some tips for finding less expensive and innovative environmentally friendly products to make your business or home office more earth-friendly. Who knows, soon your company may be ready to join the Green Chamber.
