Did you know that it's Waste Reduction Week (
http://www.wrwcanada.com/) from October 19 – 25th, 2008 in Canada?
“If you are heading down to buy a coffee, grab a portable mug from the kitchen or what the heck, grab a regular mug!” says Courtney Inman, Sitemasher’s Miss Everything (HR, Recruiting, and Office Management).
Courtney reminds Mashers on a daily basis that they should cut down on paper coffee cup consumption. Every little bit helps, so think twice about your daily habits and daily consumption
So what should you do for Waste Reduction Week in Canada?
Courtney challenges the Sitemasher gang (and anyone else) this week to:
- Grab a mug from the kitchen before heading down to the coffee shop to reduce consumption of take-away cups.
- Recycle the itty bittiest pieces of paper i.e. receipts, post its, etc. Every little bit counts!
- Spread the word –email your friends, blog & twitter about Waste Reduction Week.
What Sitemasher does on a regular basis:
- Uses 100% post consumer waste office paper.
- Has a Mashcycling depot where we can not only recycle blue bin products, we also have the opportunity to recycle light bulbs, batteries, plastic bags, & old electronics.
- No more big plastic bottles for Sitemasher…we already took the Tap Water Pledge. Read more here.
- Recycled marketing material…from our biodegradable trade show signage to our recycled paper business cards.
