GOING GREEN

How Eco Friendly are Your Office Supplies?

We may all do our bit for the environment at home, but, once we’re at work, it can be a different story. We tend to feel that being green is someone else’s responsibility!

There are so many things staff can do to reduce a business’s carbon footprint. These include switching everything off before leaving for the evening, using china mugs rather than paper cups, and ensuring people turn off mobile phone chargers at the sockets once the charge is complete.

It’s also important that people are encouraged to think before they print. How about trying to go for one whole day without printing anything? Another idea is to be more diligent about printing on both sides of the paper. You can also often use stationery supplies more than once, for example you can reuse envelopes and packaging with labels to cover the old addresses.

Place group recycling bins in strategic areas. And, of course, with recycled paper readily available, and of a higher quality than ever, there’s no excuse to use any other kind of stationery supplies!

Try and keep the temperature down as much as possible. If there is any dispute about how warm your workplace should be, the recommended temperature is 19C.

Finally, you could also set up a Green Ideas scheme to encourage and reward suggestions for being Environmentally friendly in your place of work.
