Waste at Work

recycled paper mountainIf you work in an office then look around for waste and recycling possibilities:
  • do people print when they don’t need to?
  • do you use disposable cups in the vending machines when you could use a mug?
  • is everything photocopied, three times?
  • Can your copier do double-sided?
  • Do you use paper filing when you could use computer files?
  • is the bin full of things that could realistically not be there?
  • Do you use stapless staples
  • Do you use biros when you could use pencils?
  • Do people throw away a lot of plastic food containers, coffee cups, newspapers and other things they bring into work?
  • Have you got a green office stationery catalogue?
