Have you tried to ask the city where you worked if they would provide recycling bins or donate one or two to your work place?

And what about having a talk with the boss?

http://www.moregreen.org.uk/

To quote Kermit.."It’s not easy being green". Good luck!

Wash laundry in cold water, if possible, and air dry. Join your local "freecycle" group. Get your clothes from thrift stores

In addition to recycling, compost paper, and food and yard waste. You could collect the coffee grounds at work, or your local coffee shop. We have a round garbage can on wheels with holes poked in the bottom and sides. We put our non-animal food waste (peelings, coffee grounds, old fruit or veggies), paper (torn up), and grass or shrubs (no weeds) and a scoop of dirt with worms- they do the work. They go in and out through the holes. One in a while, you can kick it over and mix it up. If it ever gets stinky, that’s what you do. After it gets full, it takes about 8 weeks to turn into dirt. we just wheel it over to the garden and start over. We have two cans for when the first one is full. There will be insects and worms, but it doesn’t stink or anything.

If that’s too involved or doesn’t fit in with your living situation, you can put coffee grounds and crushed eggshells right into the dirt.

At work you could ask the facilities department if they recycle the carpet when it is replaced. New carpet is made from the recycled content. Bentley Carpets will provide this service, but there is a fee which varies from state to state. Your facilities people may already have a recycling program in place for other waste, too.

Protecting the planet can also be part of your daily life at school. Here are a few ideas for getting your friends & teachers involved in the fight to save the planet:

Pack a garbageless lunch, take a reusable container instead.

Join the environmental club if there is one or start your own.

Make environmental studies part of every subject taught in your school.

Brainstorm environmental projects with other students & teachers.

Request a non-toxic environment in your school. Examine your school’s cleaning supplies, lawn care, supplies & paint. Ask your environmental group to come up with a list of environmental guidelines for the school.

Don’t leave taps running while you are not using them.

Turn lights on only when needed & turn them off when you’re done to save energy.

Use recycled paper instead of plastic products.

Take online courses

Save leftover food instead of throwing it away.

Buy products that use the least packaging.

Give away clothing when you’re done with it instead of throwing it away.

Use the public library for books & magazines or give yours when you’re finished with them.

Take a backpack with you when you go shopping to avoid plastic bags.

Plant a tree. Trees can absorb & store huge amounts of carbon dioxide & generate oxygen while purifying the air we breathe. Start the seedling in a pot indoors & plant it outside in spring. Seedlings need a care the first two years, including water, vertical support & mulch, so you will be able to see the tree grow & take its place in the cycle of nature as you care for it.
