Sustainability is not just a digital endeavour for us; it’s a way of life. Our office, nestled on our family farm, serves as a testament to our commitment. Embracing a minimal carbon footprint, we opt for a walk-to-work approach, reducing emissions and showcasing our dedication to environmentally conscious practices.
If you’re keen on starting your own eco office practices, here are our 5 top tips:

If you’re keen on starting your own eco office practices, here are our 5 top tips:
- 1Reduce Paper Use:
Go digital whenever possible, using cloud storage and digital signatures to minimise printing. When you do need to print, use recycled paper and print double-sided. - 2Energy Efficiency:
Switch to LED lighting and make use of natural light. Turn off electronics and lights when not in use, and consider using energy-efficient appliances. For example: we use Apple HomeKit and create automations that use geolocation to turn lights/heating off, when we’re both out of the office. - 3
Sustainable Office Supplies:
Choose eco-friendly supplies, like refillable pens (Tom’s Studio Lumos is my pen of choice!), recycled paper products, and biodegradable cleaning products. Opt for suppliers who prioritise sustainability. - 4Indoor Plants:
Add greenery to your office to improve air quality and reduce indoor pollution. Plants like snake plants and spider plants are easy to care for and make the office feel more vibrant. We’re currently home to an Aloe Vera of triffid-like proportions, called ‘Big Al’! - 5Using Water Wisely:
Use a water filter instead of bottled water and encourage reusable water bottles or cups in the office. Fix any leaks promptly and be mindful of water usage; we only wash up when we have a full sink-load.
