Green Office Guide

Make a promise and help save the planet

 

As well as doing green things in and around your workplace, there's plenty of scope to do things at home, and make greener living an everyday habit.

 

You can make a small promise like turning off the tap when you brush your teeth or using a 'bag for life', or you could go further and promise to organise a green project in your community, or to 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.

1. I promise I will put a water saving device in my toilet|
2. I promise I will turn the tap off when I brush my teeth|
3. I promise to use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable ones|
4. I promise to use a reusable bag when I shop, rather than plastic carriers|
5. I promise to air my washing in public - not in the tumble dryer|
6. I promise I will boil only the water I need, rather than filling the kettle every time|
7. I promise I will share my car journeys to work with a colleague, cycle or replace those car journeys with public transport at least once a week|
8. I promise that I will pay back the environmental impact of any air travel I take|
9. I promise I will organise or volunteer for an environmental project in my local community|
