How can you contribute? What are some additional things we can all do at work & at home?

 Save energy. By using less energy, you can help to reduce carbon emissions. Turn off lights in rooms that are not being used. Turn
off computer monitors at the end of the day. Unplug electronic items on or near your desk when they are not being used.

 Go paperless. Avoid wasting paper by choose to receive information via email and only print off docu-
ments if necessary.

 Print larger documents on both sides of paper.

 Compost where you can.

 Recycle and reuse. Use recycling bins. Pack your lunches in reusable containers.

 Donate unused items. If you don’t use a product or wear a piece of clothing anymore, donate it.

 Save Water. Fill the kettle with only what you need. Consider that tap water is fresher and cheaper – it costs up to 300
times less than bottled water. Scrape plates into a food waste bin instead of rinsing them under a running tap – it will save
water and help to avoid sewer blockages too. Turn the tap off when washing your hand – this could save litres of water
every time.
