At work

You asked us to do a book about changing the world at work, so we've done one!

Change the World 9 to 5 gives you 50 simple actions to change the daily grind. Go to our Shopping page to grab you and your colleagues a copy.

The aim of  We Are What We Do is to get as many people as possible doing simple everyday actions to change the world. You can help by inspiring your colleagues to join in.

Next Steps

Remind everyone who takes part to log on to this site and register their actions in thr Do Something section. To help you inspire them we've put together some resources in our downloads section - it's got information about We Are What We Do, our logo, and images you can cut and paste into publications, presentations or company emails. You could also add a link from your website to this one

Other ideas

ACTION 20: SWITCH OFF UNNECESSARY LIGHTS
Do you all leave lights on overnight? Lots of companies do. But why? It's easy to fix. Save electricity and something much more important - the ozone layer.

ACTION 26: GIVE BLOOD
Why not organise for a mobile blood unit to visit your workplace? You'll probably need to guarantee a minimum number of donors but if you don't have enough people in your office, you could always ask nearby offices to join in.

ACTION 43: BUY FAIRLY TRADED PRODUCTS
If your company buys tea or coffee, check if it's 'fair trade'. There is no good reason for them not to. If they give feeble excuses, challenge them. Stir things up. Get a petition. This is important.

ACTION 46: USE BOTH SIDES OF EVERY PIECE OF PAPER
Make sure every piece of paper is used on both sides. It should be company policy. Take a few minutes to look at your printer and photocopier ? chances are it has really simple instructions on how to copy on both sides. And when you've worked it out, teach others how to do it too. Printing documents copied only on one side should be like wearing fur. Totally unacceptable.
