Implementing a recycling center and compost bin at your office could help reduce waste and give your boss a chance to notice your leadership skills. Keep bins for recycling, composting, and trash color coded so employees can quickly decipher where their discard items need to go. Hang helpful instructional visual guides above the bins as well to show what can and cannot be composted or recycled. Ask a local gardening expert to give a brown bag lunch seminar about the benefits of composting at work.
