V službi imejmo svojo stalno skodelico ali kozarec, ki je boljša alternativa vedno novim, plastičnim skodelicam in še prijetnejša za pitje. Sodelavcem predlagajmo, da storijo enako.

Rajši kot za dostavo hrane z množico (plastičnih) odpadkov se odločimo za resnični odmor od dela in kosilo pojejmo iz pravih krožnikov. V kolikor kosilo prinesemo s seboj, uporabimo embalažo, ki je večkrtano uporabljiva. Če želimo hrano iz restavracije vzeti s seboj, se izognimo zavijaju hrane v stiroporno embalažo; ta je nerazgradljiva in ostane odpadek za vedno.

Kupujmo le tiste papirne izdelke, ki vsebujejo visok delež recikliranega papirja. Za proizvodnjo enega lista nerecikliranega belega papirja je potrebne bistveno več energije kot za proizvodnjo enega lista recikliranega papirja, da o sekanju dreves in uporabi zdravju škodljivih belil niti ne govorimo!

Ves papir vedno zbirajmo ločeno.

Faksirajmo dokumente direktno iz računalnika, brez vmesnega tiskanja. Kadar ni nujno, lahko naslovno stran izpustimo ali uporabimo samolepilni listek.
