April 22 is Earth Day, and a whole lot of people are doing a whole lot of things to commemorate it. Disney is releasing a new movie called, appropriately, "Earth." In New York City's Central Park, adults are teaching children how to plant and water seeds. Something called a "bike-powered blender" is being introduced at an event called "Miami Goin' Green."
Meanwhile, President Obama and Congress are working on climate change legislation that will hopefully help companies create less pollution, and surely keep lawyers and accountants busy trying to navigate the bill's inevitably mind-boggling complexity.
For the office manager who doesn't get Earth Day off and isn't one for gimmicks, think about doing something simpler, more concrete, to make the Earth a better place:
A full day with no paper.
Use document imaging and scanning technology that's already in your office to create, at least for today, that mythical "paperless office." Enjoin coworkers to join in, and evaluate how close your office is to that mythical one.
Look for document imaging strong points in your system. Perhaps your multi-function printer is working like a dream.
Look for document imaging weak points in your system. Perhaps your ability to scan large format documents isn't up to par, and it's time to consider outsourcing some document imaging needs.
Instead of hugging a tree, save a tree.
In a decidedly business-like fashion.
