Barker Graphics is a Green Company! I proudly run a green home office, utilizing solar and wind power sources, recycling and composting in an effort to create a cleaner planet and hoping to set an example for other offices and people.
Here are some ways I maintain
a green home office:
- Recycle Plastic Types 1 & 2, Cardboard, Glass, Aluminum, Metal, Batteries and Paper
- Paperless faxing
- Recycle ink cartridges and buy refilled cartridges
- Buy products made from recycled materials
- Compost biodegradable garbage
- Collect yard trimmings to decompose
- Charge mobile devices with solar power when possible
- Grow organic herbs, fruits & vegetables
- Use reusable cloth shopping bags and reuse paper and plastic bags
- Use solar landscape lighting
- Use compact fluorescent lights
- Water outside plants with collected rainwater
- Unplug unused electrical items so no "ghost" power is used
- Run several errands at a time to conserve gas
- Ride a bicycle to the bank instead of driving, when weather permits
- Take hazardous items and old electronics to a Tox Drop
- Take our own cups to restaurants that use disposable cups and don't use straws
- Bring Tupperware to restaurants for leftovers so no disposable doggie bags are used
- This website is hosted by a wind powered web host
