PRINT YOUR HOME OFFICE CHECKLIST
FLOORING

There is no pressed-wood subflooring, or it has been properly sealed to prevent formaldehyde outgassing.
The floors are made of natural materials such as hardwood, slate, or ceramic.
Any rugs are untreated cotton or wool and have nonslip backings.
Any wall-to-wall carpet has not been treated with pesticides or antistain coatings. The backing is jute.

FURNISHINGS

Your furniture is ergonomic-it promotes a natural spinal curve.
There are no particleboard furniture frames, plastic foam fillings, or synthetic upholsteries.
The furniture is solid wood or metal, covered and stuffed with natural, untreated materials.
There are no glued joints in the furniture.

LIGHTING

There are two kinds of lighting: general room lighting and individual task lighting.
There are no electrical cords running under rugs or carpets.

WORK CENTER

Paper use is minimized through the use of e-mail, electronic faxing of documents.
Editing is done on-screen, rather than printing unnecessary drafts. Paper that has been used on one side only is collected and reused for fax cover sheets and note paper. Draft print-outs and photocopies are made on the back of used paper.
File folders and envelopes are reused (e.g., by placing a label (water-based glue) over the old address).
Photocopier and laser printer toner cartridges, and printer ribbons, are recycled.
Lights and equipment are turned off when not in use.
Energy-efficiency is considered when purchasing new equipment. Preference is given to photocopiers with stand-by or sleep features and computers equipped with energy-saving features.
