Our support for the environment
Bicycle Network Victoria is always looking for new ways to reduce our environmental footprint. In small ways, we try to preserve the environment we all share.
In the office: Electricity
- We subscribe to Origin Energy's Greenpower.
- Our meeting rooms have motion sensor lights, which means they are only on when people are using the rooms.
- When we arrived in our Collins Street home, we reduced each ceiling-mounted fluorescent light from three tubes to one. We then placed desk lamps on each desk to provide a personal alternative when required.
- Our photocopier/printer switches itself off to save electricity, and comes with a long list of environmental credentials.
- Our freezer-less refrigerator has a 4.5 star energy rating.
In the office: Paper and recycling
- We use Evolve 100% recycled copy paper.
- We encourage all staff to use double-sided copying, where practical.
- We reuse single-sided photocopies and recycle office paper through VISY, including cardboard, bottles, cans and toner cartridges.
- Confidential documents are shredded and recycled by Intershred (ph 1300 366 011).
In the office: Water
- Our Staff shower has a 3 star water-saving shower-head, using nine litres/minute.
