2. The aims of Green Office Week Raise awareness that not all office workers feel empowered to take their environmental responsibilities seriously at work. Highlight that everyone can do something to change that, no matter what your role is in your organisation. Inspire both consumers and customers to make some changes. In recent years, Avery has acknowledged the importance of producing sustainable products such as its range of labels manufactured from FSC certified paper sourced from responsibly-managed forests. Working in an eco-friendly office, we realised that "nobody can do everything but everyone can do something. With this in mind we created Green Office Week. The idea is that, regardless of job role or responsibility, everyone can do something to help make a difference. .

3. Why did we run the #greenoffice14 survey? As part of our Green Office Week activity we wanted to get people talking on social media about green issues. Its been fantastic to see the number of people tweeting and spreading the word on the event. The final theme of Green Office Week is networking and our aim is to get people like you discussing the research and sharing new ideas.
