Green Scheme and the Environment
We aim to maximise the health benefits to your workplace by choosing office plants that are top-rated for absorbing toxins and CO2 and replacing them with O2 and moisture.
Our partnership with the UK's leading woodland conservation charity, The Woodland Trust, gives you the opportunity to 'Plant a Tree' and to offset your CO2 emissions through tree planting.
At Green Scheme we are also serious about reducing our environmental impact so, inspired by our children who are taught at school to REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE, here is what we do:
REDUCE |

- We looked hard at the pros and cons of different fuel types and found that the jury is out. We plumped for small engine diesel vehicles.
- Now that the compost producers realise there is money to be made they are getting their act together on coir based composts suitable for base reservoir watered plants.
- We think www.freecycle.co.uk is a great site for pairing up one person’s waste with another person’s need.
- Shredded paper is the perfect ingredient to mix with lawn clippings to make them both rot down well in our garden compost heap.
