What is your office doing to be eco-friendly?

In celebration of Earth Day, we want to find out what lawyers and law firms are doing to go green.
One firm that seems to be going above and beyond is the London-based firm Olswang. They converted their rooftop into a garden with flowers, fruits and vegetables—and 80,000 bees. Olswang employees have formed a gardening club, and they are able to donate money to charity by selling the honey produced by the bees.
“Having bees has been absolutely great for us,” Linda Zell, Olswang’s head of corporate responsibility, told the South China Morning Post. “Much of an organization’s environmental policy can feel remote when you sit in an office in London, so it’s been fantastic to bring nature into the workplace.”
While your firm has probably not established an apiary, we are interested in any steps–big or small–your firm has made to help the environment. Have you gone paperless? Switched to low-flow toilets and energy-efficient light bulbs? Created a green space on your office grounds?
