Dear All,
I am planning to organize a GO GREEN drive in the office. I kindly request all of you to assist me by providing your inputs for planning this week-long drive with different sets of activities scheduled for each day.
Thus far, the following has been decided:
- One day will be dedicated to Tree Plantation.
I am eagerly looking forward to receiving some creative ideas that align with our Green Initiative.
Thanks,

As it is a go-green initiative, it is related to nature. Nature is the best source for stress relief.
A stress-releasing activity, i.e., Daydream, can be done in the place of tree plantation where participants can be asked to imagine that place as green and as beautiful as they can. This will help them to work wholeheartedly and be clear on the focus.

Hi Shraddha,
Congratulations on taking the initiative to promote a green environment. You can suggest to your team to reduce paper usage and avoid unnecessary printing of documents. Additionally, consider organizing a vehicle-free day at your office, where all vehicles are prohibited within the office premises on that specific day.
You could also create awareness programs by visiting nearby schools and colleges. Encourage your team members to refrain from using or purchasing items made of plastic, such as plastic bags and containers made from low-quality plastics.

Dear All,
Instead of paper cups, team members can be provided with normal glasses and cups (washable, which we normally use at home). If necessary to print, print on both sides of the paper. Within the office, instead of sending paper hardcopy letters, memos, notices, improve your intranet so that all information is posted on the company intranet, and all people can read it on computers. Even salary slips are only available on our personal accounts in the company intranet (no hard copy), so avoid the use of paper. Even leave applications are also done online in our company with no paper used.

Hello Shraddha Ambre,
Quite a few good suggestions have already come. You may try the following:
1. Encourage all forms of energy saving. Put off unwanted light, fan, AC, etc.
2. If there are high energy-consuming appliances like AC, refrigerator, etc., periodically replace them with efficient ones.
3. If there is space in your premises, encourage tree sapling plantations by customers.
4. At a distant place where land is available, make special programs to distribute saplings of trees.
5. Encourage the use of pool cars.
6. Discourage overstay of persons beyond office hours (this should have Management backing).
7. With slight modifications, if you can get natural light/air into the premises, explore those opportunities.
8. If company policy permits, encourage people to work from home on a selective basis.
9. Call the nearby school children and conduct an awareness program to help the next generation.
10. Try to conserve water by avoiding wastage, reuse, and recycle.
11. Restrict/avoid thin plastics entering your premises.

Every passing day brings more depressing news on the energy and economy front, whether it is of oil prices sky-rocketing or of inflation crossing the 12% mark or of electrical energy being either not available due to power outages or being prohibitively priced.
All of which puts undue pressure on company bottom-lines, eating into company profits !
And, while we cannot easily increase our finite and fast depleting energy resources we can most certainly manage them better.
I am Ravishankar Nagarajan, Certified Energy Auditor, Certified Energy Manager and an Energy Management Professional with over two decades of rich experience in the field, and I offer to help you with my two-pronged approach to reduce your Energy Bills, viz.,
Energy Audit Solutions : Whether you are a designated consumer mandated by the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, to carry out a periodic Energy Audit or simply want to reduce your Energy Bills, anywhere from 5% to 20%, you are bound to benefit.
Energy Management Training Solutions : Whether you have already carried out an Energy Audit and want us to provide implementation support to your Managers and Engineers, or whether you want your Technical Team to conduct an in-house Energy Audit with our hands-on practical in-plant training inputs, you are bound to benefit.
Conservation does not mean Sacrifice
It is not just about switching off lights and fans –when not in use!
It is about using energy intelligently.
Just being little aware of how we consume energy is enough
-No sacrifice is involved, no need to reduce your comfort level, no need to sacrifice safety.
-One can enjoy all amenities and still save enough for the poor to meet their basic needs
While details of the above solutions will be sent as separate attachments and you can go through the same at your convenience, we would sincerely recommend that you call us, at the earliest, for a brief but focused meeting where we can make our case for driving Energy Efficiency in your Organization and later follow it up with a formal site-specific proposal catering to your special requirements.
We trust that you will not hesitate to make this important call since we are all aware of the maxim that,
NO ENERGY CONSERVATION ..... KNOW MONETARY LOSS,
KNOW ENERGY CONSERVATION ..... NO MONETARY LOSS
With best wishes for a bright and energy efficient future !
Sincerely,
N.RAVI SANKAR

Greetings,
You may consider the Rainwater Harvest Project, run by different Energy Consultancies. We had managed a similar program for our employees at EDS, where they could work along with the consultants in that project. This went beyond the office environment. It allowed us to offer employees' engagement in CSR activities and even build future leaders beyond their current task lists.
Few techniques came in handy and helped employees implement them, even at their homes. The Windmill project is a little pricey but can be considered if you have the budget for it. This way, you bring in a huge non-monetary benefit to the employee and serve society.
Wish you all the best!

Dear Shraddha Ambre,
You have just touched on a very hot topic, and it is the buzz across the industry and corporate world. Going green is about saving the environment in every possible way. One way is by using Bio-Green products for daily cleaning applications. When you consider the amount of water used daily and how, with chemicals, it ends up going down the drain, the extent to which groundwater is polluted becomes apparent. If you multiply this by every premise, the damage is substantial.
Using chemicals for cleaning increases indoor VOC levels, especially now when most offices are closed and lack proper ventilation. Under the Green initiative, people are opting for neutral chemicals, which are essentially chemicals that still emit fumes and contribute to increased VOC levels. A quick search on the disadvantages of VOC online will help you understand how harmful it is to both human health and the environment.
Use Bio-Green Products for the safety of your staff and the environment.

Dear Shraddha Ambre,
You may like to conduct an environmental quiz program for your employees. You may also have a brainstorming program on going green by asking participants to give their ideas and thoughts, and provoking discussions. Debating on some topics of going green is also a good idea.

Hi,
While daily tips exist for all of us to follow, when a department takes initiative like this, you can come up with ideas that yield visible real-time results, such as:
a. Educating the employees on the importance and easy ways of waste segregation at their homes by demonstrating the same in the office.
b. Many of us use RO water filters, yet do we actually save that non-potable water for washing purposes? If done on a daily basis, this practice can lead to significant results even at the individual level.
c. Whenever we use disposables such as paper napkins and wet wipes, they can be utilized completely instead of just once. If a wipe is larger than needed, it can be cut in half. This reduces disposable waste and saves money. People often consider it a matter of dignity to use such items and may even ridicule those who attempt to cut them in half or use one side of the sheets for rough purposes.
The real change required is in our thinking rather than merely searching for tips and using them for a week or two.
