SWAPS AT WORK

Pursuading your colleagues to start using less plastic can make you feel like you are speaking a different language.  But there are some subtle ways to start encouraging others.

Bring your own lunch and encourage others to do the same. 

​

Buy a set of glasses and a jug from the charity shop to use in meetings rather than plastic cups. 

​

Encourage everyone to have a re-useable coffee cup to bring in and use as they move around the office to meetings. 

​

Re-use all plastic wallets and folders rather than throwing them away and avoid buying any more. 

​

Encourage colleague to buy resources from local, greener, environmental companies.  Buy quality items that will last rather than cheap items that break and need to be replaced. 

​

Collect up pens and stationery that have run out and take them to a local Ryman store.

 

If you host events and have to have goodie bags make them eco friendly - seed bombs, recycled pencils, reusable bags.   

​

At Christmas, suggest a more eco friendly Secret Santa where people put in a few suggestions of presents they might like rather than colleagues buying unwanted gifts.
