Green Office Week gets under way
THE FOURTH annual Green Office Week has got under way today.
The week is designed to inform office workers about ways in which they can turn over a new green leaf.
Energy, transport, waste, purchasing and innovation make up five daily themes that will be explored across the week and discussed on the Green Office Week website and across social media channels.
To coincide with the week, a survey of 1000 UK office workers has been carried out to find out the top ten non-Green things are commonly committed in the work place.
THE ECO SIN-BIN: THE TOP 10 NON-GREEN THINGS WE DO AT WORK
1. Chucking away paper rather than recycling it
2. Not having a recycling bin
3. Throwing away food packaging
4. Throwing away cans and cartons
5. Not printing double-sided
6. Leaving things on standby
7. Using non-environmentally-friendly products
8. Forgetting to turn off the lights when leaving the office

10. Not reusing envelopes or jiffy bags
