Keen to be Green

Going green at work seems to be a popular topic, so if you haven't gotten your office on board the eco-train yet, you might be interested in some tips from the Big Green Switch for starting a workplace recycling program. Although it's a British site (which I read about this morning on ENN), most of the advice would be useful anywhere, and I like their convivial approach to finding, tracking, and sharing small lifestyle changes you can make at home or school, while traveling, even in pubs. (Not to mention the way they call a recycling plan a "scheme" without meaning anything bad by it.) So why not have a go at it?

I'm a big recycler/non-consumer (as much as possible), so imagine my concern that I learned today that all paper the U.S. recylcles gets sent to China to make boxes to send over their crap to us.
I have chosen not to buy anything China, in support of Tibet. So, what now?
Is this actually true?

Hi Kara,
Thanks for the good question. I'll see what we can find out.
Thanks,
