Spring is supposedly in the air and we website designers have been inspired to be more green. Here's how we're trying to make our working environment greener.
- We try to be a practically paper free office, and email or IM each other messages rather than using scraps of paper or post it notes
- We have a paper recycling bin.
- None of us here in the Southampton Office drive to work, choosing to walk, cycle or take the bus when it's raining really hard! :o) We even have a bike shed in the old coal cellar.
- We only print things out when it's really necessary.
- We have lots of plants in the office to improve the air quality.
- We always try to boil the kettle for a full round of tea not to waste any hot water.
- We have real towels in the loos so there's no paper towel waste or hand dryers using electricity.
- We use Ecover cleaning products in our staff kitchen.
- We make Richard recycle a plastic bag when he goes to the shop to buy sandwiches.
- We turn off our computers and monitors when we go home in the evening.
Have you got any suggestion on how we can be even more Green?
