Green Office: AlluraDirect.com Hires Worms, Reduces Waste By 75%

Depending on the city you currently call home, recycling can be easy...or extremely difficult. Luckily, Vancouver has been fairly progressive on offering a range of curbside recycling services - which to me is the easiest way to get people to participate.

Here at AlluraDirect.com, we've been able to reduce our waste significantly through the 3 R's: reducing the amount of materials we buy, reusing things like paper and plastic bags, and finally, recycling most everything else, like cans, glass containers, and packaging.

I thought that was certainly pretty good. But in our ongoing effort to do our part for the environment, my boss Sue upped the ante and introduced the new office compost bin. So now, along with my regular coworkers, we have a variety of diligent worms working out back, churning through our organic waste.

Talk about dedicated employees! They work all the time, don't drink coffee, and are happy to be paid in coffee grinds and banana peels.
