Are you committed to being "green" in your office? Are you the person who always turns off the lights in the conference room after people have used it? How about the one who goes through the trash and sifts out the compost and recycle? OK, you probably don’t take it that far. But if you find yourself thinking about small ways to reduce your environmental impact in your office you should take the initiative to certify your workplace as a Green Office and you can become a Paper Reduction Pro!

Why become a Certified Green Office?

  1. You'll receive recognition for the sustainable actions your office is already taking.
  2. You get a fancy certificate and free coffee!
  3. Making our Green Offices more visible at UW can help other offices decide to move toward sustainability.
  4. You can feel good about contributing to sustainability on campus.
