Sustainable Workplace Activities
Six activities you can run with your employees to help them make sustainable changes to their workspace.
After the initial shock of a pandemic hitting our world, we had to adapt and adjust. Covid didn’t just highlight how strong and resilient we are as humans, but professionally, it also showed up a lot of weaknesses. Do meetings really need to happen in person? Do we all really need to work 9-5 every weekday? One of the biggest changes for most of the business world was moving their work to home. And while many people can’t wait to get back into the office, many of us are now choosing to permanently work from home. With a significant amount of employees opting for this, how do you help them in making small yet impactful sustainable changes to their new home workspaces? Below we explain six activities that we have been creating with employers and their staff recently which help them make sustainable changes to their new workspace and also create a positive environmental outcome.
Start a Litter Pick Me Up!
Encourage your employees to join a beach or street clean and make their environment easier on the eye. Fuel can support this activity with litter picking kits that are specially branded with your companies logo. This is delivered to participants with a prize for the person who can pick the most litter in one hour. We have found that businesses love the sense of community and camaraderie this brings to their employees - not to mention a huge sense of achievement.
Healthy Cooking Demonstrations
The pandemic brought with it many new skills, cooking being the main one for most. With restaurants closed, everyone had to fend for themselves and so learning new skills in the kitchen has been essential. Cooking classes or demonstrations are hugely popular with companies now. With ingredients delivered straight to your door, we can arrange an array of options. Vegetarian, vegan, Asian, starters, mains and desserts - whatever it is your employees fancy, they can learn how to prepare from home.
Gardening Ecotalk
Bring the bees back!
With everyone becoming more conscious of the environment, there’s never been a better time to start with the small stuff and try and make a difference from home. Learn how and when to support your garden or local parks ecosystem. We can arrange for your employees to receive bee bombs and insect houses to help gardens bloom into fruition. Help restore the lost wildflower habitat and make an important contribution to the biodiversity of your community.
Environmentally Friendly Homes
Making your home more environmentally friendly Single-use items are out! A workshop on learning how to effectively recycle and how to reuse household items is a fantastic gift to anyone right now.

The worksheet will also provide you with steps to help you keep on track with your household waste and recyclable goods.

DIY Cleaning Products
Clean up by cleaning up!
Not only are shop-bought cleaning products bad for the environment, but they’ve also been proven to be pretty dangerous for our health. We can arrange for a guided workshop to teach you how to make environmentally friendly cleaning products using everyday household items and ingredients. Clean up your cupboards by creating cleaning up products from commonly used household goods and have your home smelling like lemon and mint!
