Create a green bulletin board at work to keep your colleagues in the loop of all things green. Post info on local tree planting events and volunteer opportunities, cell phone recycling, community gardens, farmers’ market days, carbon offsets, charity donation drives for secondhand furniture, clothing, bicycles… The sky’s the limit! Even your city’s waste management poster on what can and can’t go in the recycling bin is a helpful reminder of ways that people can be active environmentalists at work.

Include tips for how to green your office space- here are a few to get you started!
-Ride your bike or take public transit to work, or carpool
-Bring a plant for your desk to improve indoor air quality
-Recycle paper at your desk, and use it to print drafts or for petty cash receipt sheets
-Avoid printing fax confirmations and emails
-Collect and recycle used printer cartridges and batteries
-Avoid using overhead fluorescent lighting- instead opt for floor lamps or task lighting with CFL or LED bulbs
-Turn off your lights and computer every night
-Print double-sided, and decrease the size of your margins to save paper
-Bring your own water bottle and mug, instead of using disposables

Encourage everyone to add their own tip to the bulletin board. And once you’ve got them hooked on green goodness, consider setting up an environmental committee at work!
