When a new office is built, reminders/rules also accompany it...

Subject: Creating a 'Friendly' Office - Step One


We'll be looking at ways to make our office environment a bit more "friendly" during the next couple of months and today we're taking our first step forward.
This will not come as a surprise to any of you -- the first place is our kitchen and the coffee stations.
Once our supply runs out, we will no longer be providing paper cups, plastic foam cups or paper plates in an effort to be more "green" and reduce our trash. Additionally, all "community" dishes have been removed from the kitchen* and will be donated to charity since we cannot keep the kitchen sinks clean. We will have a supply of items for visitors to use.
Please plan to bring your own reusable (reusable means environmentally-friendly) products which can be stored at your work station (storing them at your work station means they are not in the kitchen).
As I mentioned, we'll be looking at a number of things we can do to improve our environment -- both inside and out.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

*There are a number of cups, travel mugs, plastic containers, etc. that have been moved to the cupboard directly above the sink. Please check for any personal items in that cabinet. Anything not claimed and moved out of the kitchen by Friday, will be moved to the donation bin.
