Lights are required to be turned on as soon as the workplace opens and they are left on all day until close, staff do not turn off room lights when not in use and they are often left on.

The bathrooms have normal taps which have been known to not be turned off on occasion until the next person comes in and notices. There is a water tank/fountain which is used by staff and clients who visit. The paper cups provided with them are made of recyclable material. Often cups are left with wasted water sitting in them and thrown out. There are separate bins in the kitchen area to distinguish between recyclable material and general rubbish. There is no green/food waste bin for food scraps. The office uses recyclable paper for printing. There are also whiteboards to minimise the amount of paper printed and wasted. There is a waste bin to dispose papers which staff will use. There is a separate bin to safely dispose printer ink and cartridges.
