Pace of Progress Part 2

5 months since the last update and what has my workspace managed to do?

Well the Water coolers have finally been connected to the mains supply - which means that we are now filtering our own spring water for drinking. Bins have arrived next to the new coolers that for just for plastic cups, which is also good.
I'm a little worried about the collection for these cups though - the pile of lightbulbs containing tungsten, mercury and other metals is growing ever greater and no battery collection has yet been arranged (other than the odd Freecycle pickup ;))

Thinking I might have to start pushing again a little - the Environmental committee has met a grand total of ZERO times - hmmm.

We have changed to GLH cars for our transport needs though. All their cars are now hybrid engines.

Things are happening but it does seem like red tape and beureacratic guidelines are not helping an awful lot.

Sigh ...
