Examples of "rethinking" the environment
- Avoid non-reusable water bottles.
- Use the fresh and clean dish towels (now provided by the Green committee; below the
sink in the social room) instead of paper towels to dry personal dishes and silverware.
- Instead of receiving a printed catalogue every year, simply inform companies that
you no longer wish to receive one, since the information is always accessible online at
the touch of a button.
- Make a lunch and try to use re-usable plastic ware instead of disposable “Ziploc”
bags.
- If you're buying your lunch at the cafeteria bring one of the reusable plates now available in the lunch room. Please wash it when you're finished.
- If there are no plates left ask for a recyclable aluminum container at the cafeteria instead of a foamed polystyrene container which is not recycled in Quebec.
- Print on both sides of the page, and several pages/slides per sheet, when possible.
- Install and use the Eco-font
which uses 20% less ink.
- Take public transit or bike to work. More info here
