At Work
Our workplaces make many of the resource consuming decisions in our society.
While most of us have less control over our workplaces than we do over our homes, our commitment to reducing the damage to the environment cannot stop when we get to work. So become an agent of change toward sustainability and lead (or support) the greening of our work cultures and the means of production.
Make your Profession Sustainable
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor… It's time we all think about how we can reduce the environmental impact of our own profession.
Save Paper and Forests
The production of paper sucks up trees, chemicals, energy (greenhouse gases) and water. About one third of the garbage we throw away is paper. Let's use less.
Power Down
Energy conservation at work saves resources, slows climate change - and leaves the boss with more money for your bonus!
Join the Green Team
Join or create a work team focused on dreaming up and implementing schemes to reduce the impact your workplace has on the environment.
Buy Green Office Products
Organisations have significant buying power. Swinging that power around to make the best use of our limited resources is easier than ever.
Travel together to Meetings
Travel to meetings and to work with your co-workers. It's efficient, it saves energy and it slows global warming.
Use Plants to Remove Toxins (from the office)
Our places of work often suffer from poor indoor air quality, and as the toxins build up, our health can suffer. Try some plants that absorb toxic chemicals.
Recycle Office Waste
Corporate social responsibility starts with people doing the right things at work. Ensuring our waste is recycled is a good step in this direction.
