Eco Friendly Home Office

Since a major part of being able to have a sustainable Texas homestead for us is running a business from home, we wanted to see where we could cut back and green our home office. My husband and I both work from home so it's important for each of us to have organized, comfortable and productive home office space.

I recently traded my office with the family room to see if I could make better use of the space and also to see what changes I could make to "green" my office. Below are the general catetories I came up with to focus on to make our home office more eco-friendly.  Hope this helps you set up a more green and productive home office.
