Green your office

Come and find out how Friends of the Earth has reduced its paper use, found sustainably sourced products and encouraged staff to recycle everything - from tea bags to PC monitors at Highbury's CLIMATE CHANGE & ME evening conference. Tickets for the evening events are free, just turn up anytime from 6pm at Highbury Fields School, Highbury Hill. Karen's inspiring workshop runs from 7-8pm on 16 October.

"Of course you'd expect Friends of the Earth to have good recycling systems in place, but we've found that you need to keep on encouraging and inspiring staff. We make it easy, we explain what and why, and we give out awards," says Karen Liebenguth who has worked at the environmental campaigning organisation, based in nearby Old Street, for three years.

Karen (right) is in charge of keeping Friends of the Earth's office and staff green. Come and find out the innovative, but simple, ways this is achieved. Karen can answer your questions too.

If you've ever felt frustrated by the waste in your office then please come and find out how to do something practical about it on Thursday 16 October from 7-8pm.
