GREEN OFFICE POSTER PRESENTATION

CV CLASS LIA

Presenters: Erik and Putri

Green offices are designed to be energy efficient and often incorporate
recycled content. The goal is to create a healthy environment, conserve energy and
reduce pollution. Greening the office does not mean spending a lot of money or
eliminating creature comforts in the name of sustainable living. Greening the
office requires conscious choices, choosing reusable over disposable, and
conservation over immediate convenience.
This poster means that the workplace is yet another venue where green
initiatives can help save the planet when we hold on together. We can create an
atmosphere of green office in our working environment by using triple R:
reduce, reuse, and recycle.
The first step to reducing our impact on the environment is reducing the
amounts of resources we consume and use. By reducing our consumption we will
also decrease the amount of waste we produce. For example, use e-mail to
minimize paper use.
Second, the ways in which to reuse things are unlimited. All we need is to be
creative. For example, plastic contains can become food storage, paper can
become wrapping paper.
Third, when buying any type of products, see if it is available with post
consumer recycled content. Example: bags can be used over and over again.
Concrete steps that we can do to create a green office in our working
environment is to plant a tree, so our working environment can be clean, healthy,
and green.
In lias building we can take advantage of the roof to plant trees and other
crops. We could use scrap materials such as container cup for stationery. Put the
plants in the classroom. Keep clean the air for good ventilation and etc.
These simple habits save energy, resources, and the environment (according to the
symbols respectively):
1. Walk, bicycle, take a bus, train, or the subway when possible.
2. Turn off computers and monitors when not in use and unplug the power at
night.
3. Save energy by turning off the light when you leave the room.
4. Save paper by e-mailing and storing information online rather than faxing.
5. Use a ceramic coffee mug rather than disposable paper pr polystrene cups.
6. Use washable plates, silverware, and glasses rather than disposable ones.
7. Recycle paper, junk mail, cardboard, glass, cans, and plastic containers.
8. Replace your light bulbs with energy saving compact fluorescent bulbs.
9. Save, reuse, and recycle cardboard boxes, packing, and shipping supplies.

This poster was made by using scrap materials like eggshell, cotton, sterofom,
waste paper, and other stick to show that to create a green office is not difficult
and does not require costly. We must save our earth for our future.
In conclusion, thinking green means being aware of our interconnectedness
with the world and reflecting on the unintended damage we can cause in the daily
course of our lives. Thinking green leads to acting green-taking.
