Green workplaces

Greener workplaces logo

"Climate change is most definitely a union issue. The workplaces that we organise - and seek to organise - burn energy, consume resources and generate waste." First Steps to a Greener Workplace, TUC, 2006

On these pages you'll find news, tips and useful information, campaigns and PCS policy on 'green' issues such as climate change, energy saving, waste and recycling.

We believe that green or sustainable workplaces should also take on board wider issues such as ethical investment, fair trade and workers' rights. 

For information about green events see the events pages.
 

 

Take action

Heathrow expansion

The Government has delayed an announcement on a third runway at Heathrow airport until January. So there is still time to write to your MP to ask them to push Ministers to reject Heathrow expansion. 

A model letter is on the Friends of the Earth website.

Energy efficiency and fuel prices

Ask your MP to support increased energy efficiency measures to combat fuel poverty by signing a parliamentary early day motion (EDM).

See the UK parliament website to view the EDM and to see whether your MP has signed it.
