Plants in the office
According to eFIG, the European Federation of Landscape
Groups, one of the simplest ways you can create a green office
environment is by including plants in your office space. Much
research has been done around the world to confirm that plants
are good for our wellbeing, they can make us feel less stressed
and suffer less from common minor ailments such as headaches,
blocked sinuses, dry throats or dry skin, fatigue and even asthma.

grime, but also provides anti-bacterial protection, if the
right product is used.

information about using and purchasing the correct office
equipment and portable gadget cleaning products can be

Student campaign
BIC 4-Colours has launched a UK-wide student
campaign to encourage university students to engage
in the fun of the original four colour-inked pen – red,
blue, green and black – and its ‘four inseparable friends’
campaign.
The BIC 4-Colours ‘Gapaway’ competition will give four
UK students the opportunity to win a four week ‘Gapaway’
trip this summer to one of four worldwide regions, each
representing the four colours of the pen – Australia,
South America, South Africa and South East Asia, as well
as competing for a £4,000 contribution towards their
university fees.
The campaign is being fronted by ‘Orlando’, aka Matt
Lacey’s loveable ‘gap yah’ toff alter ego who found fame
via his videos on YouTube.With social media at the heart
of the campaign, the student entrants are asked to upload
their video, image or text entry online, responding to the
question ‘what would you do with four inseparable friends
on holiday’. Entrants are then encouraged to seek public
votes in order to make their way onto a shortlist before
facing a judging panel.
