Of course you could start up a rainforest rally in the office kitchen, force everyone to wear 2nd hand clothes, or you could just pop the Top 10 Easiest Ways to Green Your Office on the notice board. If nothing else, it'll be something new to talk about in the office, and it will get people thinking.
Simple tips like recycling ink cartridges and setting computers to hibernate are easy enough for even your most stubborn of colleagues.
Office buildings account for 28% of commercial energy demand, but the Department of Energy says that with just a few easy changes we can reduce office energy use by 10%. You can also save paper and plastics and all those things we tend to be frivolous with round the office. The net effect is your company will be saving money and have a more health looking "green" profile.
Why not mention this and our website to the boss, and see if you can get the corporate paradigm to shift just a little into a greener way of work life.
Better still, if your company has a website, get those at the top to endorse themselves and us by adding our logo and searchbox to it. Every little bit helps toward reforestation without you having to change the office world.
So, have a look at these links before you go any further:
