Waste Not Wednesday - Green Office Week 2010

Yesterday was Choose Right Tuesday, and I think we had a bit of a head start as we already did tips 1, 3 and 4, and with toner cartridges we make sure we recycle any that we use.

Today's tips are:

1. See if you can go the whole day without printing any emails
2. Remove individual bins & replace with recycling bins
3. Arrange for dripping taps to be repaired
4. Reuse old envelopes and packagaing
5. Turn off mobile phone chargers at the socket

Choose Right Tuesday - Green Office Week 2010

Yesterday was Make a Start Monday, the first of Green Office Week. As far as the tips went, we did ok - all except for buying a plant - however I will definitely have one before the week is over.

Today's tips are all about making the right choices whether purchasing, throwing away, even drinking your tea.

1. Reject plastic cups and invest in a mug instead
2. Opt for a cycle courier rather than a man with a van
3. Order FSC approved environmentally products where possible
4. Use a bulldog clip to transform scrap paper into notepads
5. Request remanufactured toner cartridges
