If this is your situation then you should contact the technical service if it is too hot in your office. In more and more areas, ordinary neon lights are being replaced by high output lighting. However, you can also save energy by switching lights off when they are not needed and switching your computer off whenever you go to a meeting, or by just switching off your computer screen whenever you leave your office for shorter periods. It is also important if you are buying new apparatus that you consider how much energy it uses. Computer screens which use the least energy can be recognised by the TCO95-logo.
Coffee beakers Plastic coffee beakers form a veritable torrent of refuse.
The material the beakers are made of can be re-used if it is not mixed with anything else. In the past the various attempts made to collect them have failed repeatedly because other refuse, such as plastic spoons, fruit peelings and milk beakers, has been thrown into the containers provided specially for the plastic coffee beakers. In many places the coffee beakers are now simply collected with the industrial waste and burned. However you can also contribute to keeping this torrent of refuse down by using a mug or a cup. You can also contribute to a better environment by taking into account the pollution which is caused during production and arises in the disposal phase.
