After reading an article in the Sunday Telegraph about how to reduce your carbon footprint a little each day, we decided to adapt it a little and do it this week.

Monday: “Giving up meat one day a week will save money, reduce your environmental impact and improve your health”. Having a meat-free Monday in the office was a cinch.

Tuesday: “Ban bottled water”. Lucky at INIKA we have a water filter with a choice of either room temp or chilled so we encouraged everyone to drink from a glass or refill their bottle.

Wednesday: “Go unplugged”. Well we couldn’t really implement this one in an office that relies on technology, so instead we organised a night out. After all drinking wine at the pub doesn’t use power like sitting at home watching Offspring does.

Thursday: “Walking or cycling to work”. Well this one was a little controversial. We ended up carpooling and getting the free bus, except for our gym bunny Summer who was dedicated to the plan.

Friday: Turn off at the power point. When we left the office at 5pm we made sure everything was switched off at the wall and no computers were left on standby.
