The switch to real mugs in office setting requires some type of dish washing station–be it a dedicated sink set up or dishwasher. Good luck!! Sorry I don’t have more specific suggestions for you.

Our architecture/engineering office is looking at chucking the paper cup – can you share suggestions? We are talking about switching to glass but will then need to address the issue of who will wash them. They probably won’t install a dishwasher which is exactly what the firm I was at previously did. We had silverware, dishes, glasses & mugs. Had a rotation list for the dishwasher – and this worked great. We actually installed an entire green kitchen, shower for employees to encourage riding to work and used insulation containing recycled jean material, bamboo flooring, low voc paint, carpets, bores hair carpeting. And all year long had a different focus each week with one lunch and learn a week where we watched a documentary or special to related to green issues to educate our team.

Yes, I think it is totally a fair expectation that employers set up filtered drinking water stations! They can save $ over buying bottled water and it is healthier for everyone, earth and people.

Getting rid of bottled water in the workplace is probably not a great idea. What if one is not willing to drink tap water? Is your employer going to pay for a water filtration devise? Can one feasibly bring enough filtered water from home to last the entire work day? I know I drink at least three to four liters of water in an 8 hour shift? It seems to me that an employer would have a whole lot of dehydrated employees, which can effect work output greatly and therefore people would get less work done in any given time period.

We have activities scheduled the entire week in which Earth Day falls. We try to have a good mix of things that employees can do on their own schedule, as well as events at a specific time and place like presentations or fairs. Our most popular event last year was a Local Food & Products Fair, where we invite local vendors to set up at a booth and offer free samples and information about their products. So we'll repeat that this year.

Carpooling is simple and has a wide range of powerful financial, environment, and other benefits. Consider setting up a dedicated carpool group for employees.
