Start a Green Revolution at Work

You buy organic groceries and use eco-friendly cleaning supplies at home, but do you forget the environment when you’re busy at work? Many people do. A YouGov poll from December shows that three out of four office workers are leaving their eco-efforts at home.

In April at UK Aware, there will be many exhibitors on hand who can help you learn how to be green at work. One exhibitor, First Impressions Last Longer, is the world’s first carbon-neutral supplier of office products. The paper they sell is made in a factory here in the UK from UK recycled waste, and the factory is powered by methane released through the recycling process. While of First Impressions' product lines are more expensive than others, the company says they can save your company money overall. First Impressions does not believe in a green ‘premium’ for business; they think going green should reduce your costs, not increase them. Come and see some of what they offer at UK Aware.

In fact, going green at work is not only right for the environment, it can also be good for business. I mean, if you want to really impress your customers, why not outfit your entire office in recycled furniture from The Recycle Warehouse. They have all sorts of recycled office goods, including pencils made out of recycled newspapers, waste bins made from recycled crisp packets and lovely pedestal desks made from recycled timber. You can also check out some of their offerings at UK Aware this year.
