'' Eco initiatives are discretionary, pro-environmental behaviors that an employee can participate in during the day,'' said Stritch, who is now an assistant professor at Arizona State University. '' Eco initiatives involve things like recycling or energy conservation. Reusing water bottles and turning off your computer screen are examples.''
Eco initiatives include sustainable micro-level behaviors, small tasks that are done voluntarily by the employee. When an enployee chooses to do things like save paper or turn off lights at work, they sre participating in eco initiatives. Eco initiatives are done because employees choose to do yhem, not because they're enforced.
