Green Office

"We are all part of the environment and what we do to the environment, we do to ourselves."
Greenpeace website

We believe that it isn't enough to save people's lives, but that we should do our part and save the planet as well.

We know we have the power to make a difference by making small changes to our daily routine which can add up to big changes in helping to stop global warming.

We transformed our office into a Green Office, and made it easier for employees and visitors to recycle and "be green" as part of their daily life; We changes the way our office works and made it easier to recycle and save by making facilities accessible and giving information.

The following steps were taken:

• We placed bins for used papers for recycling
• We places a box for used batteries to be safely buried
• We published 8 monthly "Green Newsletter" giving information and advises of how to be greener
• We changed our computers' definitions and are now shut down automatically after a short period of time not being used
• We placed large plants in the office
• We changed most light bulbs in the office to energy efficient ones
• We placed bins for empty glass and plastic bottles and tin cans for recycling
• We replaced our old energy-consuming refrigerator with an energy-efficient one

And most important, we encourage our staff to be "greener" in the office and at home and teach them how save energy, save resources and save a little bit of the planet every day.
