| Saving Energy |
• |
The hot water service is switched off as we find it's a waste to heat a whole tank all the time for just washing hands and the occasional dishes. |
| Saving Water | • • • • |
We only fill up the kettle with enough water to make our cup of tea, saving both water and energy. Any water left in drinking glasses at the end of the day is used to water the plants, rather than just throwing it down the sink. We wait until we have a full sink of dishes before we wash up, rather than wasting water doing small lots. Staff are encouraged to use the half flush button on the loo wherever possible. |
| Reducing waste | • • • • |
We keep live plants instead of fake ones, which means less 'unnatural' resources have been used to decorate our office space. No disposable crockery is used in our office. Scrap paper is used for notes instead of buying new note pads. We encourage staff to minimise printing and only print when absolutely necessary. We also use the back of scrap printer paper for internal printing, and print two pages to the one side. The text is smaller but it's still easy to read and uses half the paper. |
| Reusing Resources | • • • |
We shred all waste paper once it's been used both sides and give it to friends for garden mulch. We purchase recycled paper wherever possible. We recycle ink cartridges through our local Cartridge World outlet. |
