It's Not Easy Being Green
Encourage employees to go "green" by offering some friendly competition.
Who says work has to be boring? Stir up some fun and a little healthy competition in your office. Launch a month long competition to see who can be the “greenest” employee.
-
Encourage using alternative methods of transportation to work. Have employees keep track of how often they walk, bike, or take the bus. See who has the most days at the end of the month!
-
Reduce waste and recycle. See who can recycle the most and generate the least amount of waste during the month.
-
Think of fun prizes or awards to give out. Provide free lunch or movie passes to the winners in each category. Get creative!
-
The most important thing is to engage and educate employees while keeping it fun and interesting. For some more ideas check out this handbook by Green Impacts. Boise has the May in Motion competition every year. May has come and gone but it's something to think about for next year!
