Great Ideas for Celebrating Earth Day at Our Office!



April 22nd is Earth Day, and businesses all around the world are joining in the fight to celebrate the earth and protect its resources. This year’s theme is “Protect Our Species”, focused on preventing the extinction of animals, plants and insects due to human activity. Here are some ideas for companies of every size who want to show that they care, from our specialists in modern office cubicles.

  • Plant a tree: As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree is yesterday, the second-best time to do it is now! Get permission well in advance to plant a tree (or several) either in your office grounds or a local park. Choose trees that are indigenous to your area and are rare or under threat of extinction, so that they boost the local eco system. Have an hour or so set aside to pant the tree together and have a picnic!

  • Get competitive: A company-wide competition is a great way to get everyone actively involved in this great cause! You can split people into different teams by department or project and give them different targets for the competition. For example, you could challenge them to take certain actions that earn them points – recycling paper/plastic or minimizing paper use, coming up with a plan for their team to earn the biggest reductions in wastage or to introduce green initiatives in their designated workspace. Be sure to have a great prize as incentive!

  • Conserve power: Offices use a significant amount of power each day through lighting, computers and digital devices. Send around some tips with actions that every employee can take to reduce their energy consumption, from switching off lights when natural lighting is sufficient, replacing bulbs with LED lights or powering off computers at night. You can also increase natural lighting in your office space by installing glass walls, reducing the need for artificial lighting.

  • Volunteer: Make Earth Day a day off and volunteer for a pre-planned environmentally-friendly cause. For example, you could clean up a local river area, plant trees and flowers in a local park, or work with an organization that’s dedicated to assisting local wildlife. This is a great way to raise awareness about the local environment within your organization as well as a wonderful PR opportunity.

  If you were considering an office-buildout before the pandemic hit, having lived through it can only be considered a blessing. At BE Builds, we’ve seen our clients designing workspaces that are dramatically different than the ones they would’ve designed just 12 months ago. Of course, there are enhanced safety considerations, but the reality is that the pandemic has created a design aesthetic – and opportunity – that doesn’t show any signs of going away soon.  Health and Wellness Tech Re-opening in a post-COVID world means making health and wellness a focus of office design rather than a productivity-enhancing perk, and the tech industry has really risen to the occasion. From touchless control systems and sensors to air purification systems, contactless access control and germ-killing UV lights, these systems work behind-the-scenes to support the health requirements of a post-COVID workplace. And these enhancements are not just a temporary investment due to the pandemic – they’re
