"Solutions are in our Nature"

If you know who coined this phrase, write it in the comments.

We couldn’t have asked for a better day like Earth Day to launch Canada’s PHD Sustain initiative. 

  Taking Care of our PHD Village

In an effort to reduce our waste & benefit our environment, the following changes are already making a difference in the office:

· Milk & cream 1 litre bottles replaced their tiny plastic versions

· People have added reminders on their email signature “Please consider the environment before printing…etc.

· A switch to more discussion & 1 pager handouts vs large presentation decks

· Printing on both sides of the paper

· Recycling

· Limiting how many media kits are received from sales reps

· Correcting & updating address-lists so we don’t end up with an overflow of Media Week & Marketing Magazines

· Using the revolving door to go outside

· Asking about recycled paper when planning a flyer or DM piece

· Using “angels-advocate” at the office as a way to improve our team morale

· Calling your sales rep when an unnecessary polybag arrives
