Green Office Week is back from 8th to 13th May and Avery is on a mission to help offices go green. With research showing that it takes 21 days to change your habits, Green Office Week's campaign looks encouraging office workers to make continued small changes at work that will have a big environmental impact.
Getting involved, exchanging information and top tips is at the heart of the social campaign with Avery running all activity from its Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube channels. Office workers are invited to share their eco-friendly initiatives using the hashtag #greenoffice17, with prizes for those who have had an environmental impact on their own workplace.
Avery has also come up with a way to provide practical advice and inspiration, enlisting the help of the next generation. Green Office Week will launch with 21 online videos presented by children aged 5-11 years old. The 30 second films are packed with office eco-solutions from children who have only ever lived in an environmentally aware world where thinking green comes naturally. The children have come up with their top tips for going green at work based on what they put into practice in their own homes and what they've read and learned about at school.
Fiona Mills, Avery UK Marketing Director said, "as adults we often want to make changes in our lives but sometimes it takes another person making a comment or request for us to take action. Children learn about the environment from a young age and we have been so inspired learning ideas and tips from the next generation. It's their planet we need to protect and we hope UK office workers will take time to watch and share the videos. Even if an office introduced just a few of the ideas, we know that up and down the country an environmental impact would be being made during Green Office Week, and for the future."
For anyone keen to get started straight away, here are some ideas which will be shared in the Green Office Week videos that can be put into practice right now:
The full collection of 21 videos will be available online, with additional downloadable materials at www.greenofficeweek.eu. If you'd like to get involved in Green Office Week get in touch with Avery by tweeting @UKAvery or sending a message to www.facebook.com/UKAvery.
