9. Reduce
energy use
- If you are not using it, turn it off!
- Keep lights off in vacant meeting rooms and
break rooms when not in use
- Replace desk lights with energy saving bulbs
- Use daylight wherever possible
10.
Spread the word
The best way to stay involved in the green
scene at work is to get others involved.
Share your practices and wisdom with your
boss and coworkers.
8. Conserve
water
- Don’t buy bottled water. Use a
stainless steel commuter cup
- Keep a pitcher of water in the
fridge instead of running the tap
- Don't pour water down the
drain - use it to water plants
6. Recycle
There are many things in your
office that you can recycle. If you
don’t have a recycling station
at work, start one on your own!
You can get a few bins and post
recycling guidelines above them.
7. Live
healthier
- Choose foods that are local,
organic and sustainable for
meetings, lunches and catered
events
- Get rid of toxic cleaners and
personal products in your office
kitchens and bathrooms
- Add plants to your workspace,
they filter the air
- Take the stairs instead of the
elevator
5. Digitise
It seems strange that we are
living in a digital age, yet we still
consume large amounts of paper.
Try reducing the amount of paper
you use and digitise. Instead of
keeping files in filing cabinets
keep them on computers. Review
documents on screen rather
than printing them out. If you do
need to print, make sure you buy
recycled paper.
