What is the Green Office Guide?
The Green Office Guide is a reference tool for employees detailing how to improve environmental practices in the workplace. It has 5 topic areas which can be tackled all at once or individually - whatever works best within the workplace.
Who will implement the Green Office Guide?
We are also developing a network for keen environmentally aware staff, called Green Champions.
Green Champions are Council employees who wish to make a difference to the environment during their day-to-day work.
Make a promise
You can make a small promise like turning off the tap when you brush your teeth or using a 'bag for life'. maybe go further and promise to organise a green project in your community, or offset your carbon emissions when you take a flight.
Promise to do your bit and you can come back and see how much you have achieved. Recruit your friends to make a promise too, and between everyone, you can make a difference.
