Countdown begins to Green Office Week 2011
taff at hundreds of businesses across the UK are preparing to spring into action for the environment during Green Office Week.
S
Now in its third year, the initiative from office product manufacturer Avery is designed to help people take simple, practical steps to be greener at work.
Avery hopes this Green Office
Week (9-13 May 2011) will be bigger and better than ever and has put a range of tips and downloadable resources on the campaign website at
www.greenofficeweek.eu. Green Office Week supporter Alistair McGowan, the impressionist, actor and environmental campaigner, said: “If, like me, you spend most of
your waking hours at work, I’d encourage you to take part in Green Office Week. “It’s not about being downhearted regarding climate change – it’s a prompt to think and act just a little bit smarter.
“Green Office Week makes the point in a clever interactive way that we can all do simple, practical things to make a positive difference to our environment.
“By getting involved and
embracing the various tips and ideas in the campaign and on the website, we can all change our behaviour for the better and, in our cuts-driven world, save a lot of money!” People can become Green Office Week Followers or Ambassadors.
Followers have access to all the online advice and resources while Ambassadors go a stage further and volunteer to ‘spread the word’ within their organisations and share updates on their activities via Twitter, Facebook and the campaign site.
Ahead of this year’s Green Office Week, a YouGov poll shows only a third of office workers (33%) are confident their managers are clear about the practical steps that can be taken to make the office greener, yet just over half (52%) accept it is a shared responsibility between staff, management and the government.
