Green Practices we could take to- Green(In)dex:

Form Green Volunteer Group at the Office, Organisation or Residential block, to facilitate implementation of green initiatives

Discontinue use of use-and-throw paper and plastic cups for tea, coffee, water etc

Discontinue lining of bins with use-and-throw plastic bags

Avoid shredding papers which are not confendential

Optimise and Reduce the number of bins in office space. Avoid having bins foreach employee desk.

Set up bin system for collection, storage and donation of segregated waste at source

Label of bins to facilitate and encourage source segregation of waste and donationof waste

Try using bins made of Ecofriendly material

Employees and Residents too could donate their dry waste from home at some particular frequency at Office or a Public Donation point

Optimise the frequency of waste donation, to minimize transportation and other costs associated with the shipment of waste

Introduce composting of food waste

Measure Carbon Footprint of each person and the organisation and plan to reduce it
