Litha Communications goes green for Green Office Week

The campaign began in the UK with a vision to encourage:

• Organisations to start seeing themselves as eco-friendly Workplaces and develop green office practices and policies.
  
• Management to implement and maintain sustainable practices into their workplaces.
  
• Workers to take a look at the daily routines and realize the economic benefits of reducing waste.

This year's theme is "You make a difference" and Litha is taking it to heart as it has set out a go green plan that will incorporate a new clean green action each day.

Daily themes

Based on this year's daily themes, the company plans to:

• Monday 16 April: make a difference by finding more ways to save on printing - print on both sides of the paper;
  
• Tuesday 17 April: find ways to save on lighting - switch lights off in offices and meeting rooms that are not being used;
  
• Wednesday 18 April: make a difference by driving green - go easy on the air conditioner as it uses more fuel;
  
• Thursday 19 April: look for ways to recycle more - cut scrap paper and bull-clip it to use as a notepad or cut in quarters and use for notes; and
  
• Friday 20 April: share a green tip with colleagues and clients - at the bottom of emails include a green message such as: Think twice before you print this email.

"These are simple and quick tips that can reduce the carbon footprint we are creating, the idea of Eco-living and green offices are not new concepts at Litha but we are glad to see this is becoming a global movement," says Teresa Jenkins, COO of Litha Communications.

"The greatest gift we can give to the children of the future is to take care of the present."- Unknown
