How Green We Are.
I've been thinking lately about how green Bandwagon Music Studios are. With all the news stories about greenhouse effects and carbon emissions it is easy to have these things constantly on your mind.
I believe we are a fairly green work place.
We do things like -
1. Reuse our photocopy duds as note paper.
2. Recycle our paper and cardboard - we have a dedicated
paper bin that we pay for.
3. Recycle our drink cans - these are crushed and given to a
local charity for their fund raising.
4. Keep our printer cartridges and drop them off at a Planet
Ark collection point - usually Officeworks.
5. Keep our string packets and send them back to the
manufacturer for the bonus points.
Although the main reason we choose D'addario strings
is because of their quality, another part of it is because
of their frugal packaging.
6. We have installed energy saving light bulbs in as many
places as possible. We also turn off lights when not
needed. In some places we have two sets of lights on the
same switch, so we had an electrician install a special
switch on the second light so we can turn it off when it's
not needed.
7. We encourage minimum use of the air conditioners.
We want to do these things -
1. Have a fund for carbon trading. To fund this I propose
to use some of the money raised from the drink sales
and to also run the occasional raffle.
