Sustainability experts offer their ideas for lawyers and firms going green:
- Reduce air travel and invest in video conferencing technology
- Go paperless where possible and use double-sided printing (and of course, recycle)
- Turn off computers overnight or over the weekends
- Utilise car share arrangements
- Engage with clients about how to work together to reduce carbon footprints
- Buy food from local farmers if providing breakfast, lunch or dinner for staff
- Send office food waste to Oz Harvest Food Rescue, a not-for-profit organisation which rescues excess food and distributes it to charities
