ALASTAIR SAWDAY PUBLISHING GREEN OFFICES

Visit: Friday 24 March, 14.00, £6/4.50

Despite already having an office compost heap, a company car that runs on recycled chip fat, and being the first carbon-neutral publisher in the world, Alastair Sawday Publishing did not 'walk the walk' when it came to their offices. The company's move in January to converted barns at Yanley, just outside Bristol, was largely provoked by a series of environmental audits that gave them low marks for the performance of their current offices. The new Yanley offices should produce a reduction in office carbon emissions from 27.5 tonnes a year to just 7.5 - a 73% reduction.

On this visit we will see the new site, which includes a yurt, bird-boxes, a tank to collect rainwater for the loos and showers, an office allotment, and hear a talk from Alastair Sawday and project contractor, Quentin Craven.
