Big business is keen to go green however many SMEs are refusing to adopt environmental best practices, according to a recent Newspoll.
The survey found air conditioners were left on overnight at 70 per cent of smaller workplaces; 10 per cent keep their lights on 24 hours a day.
In addition, 36 per cent of workers did not switch their computers off when they left work for the day while 86 per cent said they choose to print documents rather than proofread them on screen.
Commentators say the alarming figures prove the Federal Government needs to develop a climate change awareness campaign that specifically targets SME workplaces.
