Info

Your small company decided to do a Go-Green Week because a lot of you [the employees] have been asking for it. Every day you will do something green. Your goal is to have the maximum positive impact for the environment while also decreasing your expenses. BRAINSTORMING FROM FIRST MEETING 1. Sending out about 1000 emails/day. That’s at least 1000 printouts/day at other companies. How could we encourage other companies not to print our emails? 2. Grow our own herb, tomato plants, etc. in the backyard of company building. Save everyone the trip to the grocery store. Coffee grinds: a great fertilizer! IN YOUR FIRST MEETING YOU DID SOME BRAINSTORMING TO SEE THE AREAS WHERE YOU COULD BE GREENER. YOU HAVE A LOT OF IDEAS IN THE AIR, AND SOME OPEN QUESTIONS. DO THE SECOND MEETING AS FOLLOWS: Step 1. Use the helpful information that one of you pulled from the internet [see below] during the discussion. Step 2. Decide on one objective for each working day. Make sure that everyone is more or less happy with the decision. Step 3. Put down the agreed on agenda on the next page. Do we have time for gardening? 3. Can we change conventional light bulbs to more energy efficient ones? 4. Replace all disposable paper products by 100% recycled paper products. 5. Set up carpools, encourage people to bike, or walk to work. Sounds great, but can we also somehow reduce the amount of printing we do? How can we incentivize (=motivitate) people? 6. Switch all office cleaning products over to eco-friendly ones to eliminate toxins in our waste water. 7. Pass out individual recycling cans for every desk next. 8. Cleaners cann’t remember that recyclables go in the gray dumpster and other trash in the green one. It’s pointless to recycle if they get this wrong. 9. We have a giant electricity bill. We need ideas how we can help them learn this. We need ideas how to consume less electricity. One computer left on overnight equals the use of an entire 60 watt light bulb. Little things count a lot. If you are the last person leaving an office or conference room, remember to turn off the lights! It’s easy to add a "Please consider the environment before printing this email" signature to your email accounts. Printing out internal documents double sided can reduce the volume of printouts. Compared to regular bulbs giving the same amount of visible light, CFLs (Compact Fluorescents) use less power and have a longer rated life. In the United States, a CFL can save over US $30 in electricity costs over the lamp's lifetime compared to a regular bulb and save 2000 times its own weight in greenhouse gases.
