We’re at a point where recycling and reducing home energy use have gone mainstream, due both to nationwide environmental trending and the sheer economics of high power bills and over-filled city dumps. That movement has been slower to reach the workplace, however. Even if the majority of a company’s employees reflect some level of eco-consciousness in their home and personal lives, that doesn’t always translate to the office. People generally don’t want to impose their beliefs (even those that benefit everyone, like reducing waste) on their coworkers. Perhaps there’s even one particularly outspoken anti-environmentalist in the office who chastises any efforts by others to set up recycling bins or instigate ‘bring your own mug’ programs.
