In practice, this looks like using less resources – less fuel, paper and electricity. The second need is to return to more natural ways of living and avoid products with harmful artificial ingredients.

Posters and emails should be created to remind staff of the importance of using fewer resources. This has the enormous added benefit of saving the business money.
