I sit on the environment team here. Which means that we look at little initiatives - like getting decent recycling facilities set up in the agency - in a vain (or maybe not vain) attempt to make some small difference to our wider world.
My 'sitting' on the team started out innocuously enough. So I've been looking into discounted bus travel, City Car Club membership, things like that. But thinking about these sort of things is having a strange creeping effect on my personal behaviour. So whereas I used to be a bit of a part-time recycler, I'm now becoming fixated with recycling everything. Though I've stopped short of installing a wormery in my 4 foot square kitchen. I prowl around the agency turning off lights in un-used rooms, turning radiators down, washing out milk cartons and storing them in the recycling bins and so it goes on.
If you're ever up in the toilets on the fouth floor in here and the lights go out, you'll know it's me.
Anyway, my obsession has at last found an outlet. Sign up here and you can pledge to make various small behavioural changes so you too can go greener. Our partnership guys have been doing some sterling work on setting up various partnerships entitling you (once signed up) to various brilliant discounts so you can be both green and smug. Perfect.
