Are you ready to save the world?

Yesterday, Eco-Office Gal taught us how small businesses can make a huge difference by .  Today, we’re taking things one step further.  Your actions in the workplace can help you do more than just be a little green…they can truly help you save the world.

Just released today… , a new book by Tim Sanders inspires readers with stories about real people who made a huge difference in their workplace and in their world. How did they do it?  By taking the time to care.

My favorite?  The 16 year old waitress who convinced her boss (who just happened to be her father) to recycle all of the glass, plastic, and paper they were previously throwing away.  Her environmental passion “lit a fire” under her father who not only instituted a recycling program but went on to purchase to offset his restaurant’s carbon emissions, install energy efficient lighting, and work with his staff to find more ways to conserve energy and paper.

His actions (spurred by his daughter) not only made a huge difference to the planet, but they also made headlines throughout the restaurant industry and eventually in USAToday.

Do you want to save the world at work?  You don’t have to own your own business or work for a multi-billion dollar company to spur change.  Every simple action that each of us takes to go green makes a huge difference to the health of the planet.
