Three things I learned
I learned that by considering even the smallest, unimportant things like the kind of cleaning materials you are using can really help improve the environment.
By considering the materials to be used are very important. The kind of paper, looking seriously about energy conservation, by considering what is the right time to clean the library can really help in decreasing energy consumption.
By implementing and linking the organizational value with the greening the library campaign.
Personally I think this is something I should be taking into consideration in my library policy. To consider the time I should be cleaning the library, use the energy saving computers for the library and conservation not just on the energy but also the small things like paper use, clips and other.
