A Proposal to Reduce Office Waste

During a team meeting, Priya presented an idea for reducing waste in the office kitchen. She had noticed that employees often used disposable cups and threw away containers that could be recycled. Instead of asking the company to change everything at once, she proposed a four-week pilot program. The office would provide reusable cups, add clear recycling labels and share a short guide with staff. Priya explained that the plan would require a small initial cost, but it could reduce the amount of waste the office sent to landfill. She showed a simple estimate based on the number of cups used each week. Her manager asked how the team would measure success. Priya suggested comparing disposable cup orders and checking the recycling bins before and after the trial. A colleague asked whether the kitchen had enough space for the reusable items. Priya agreed to check that detail and update the plan. The team decided to test the idea on one floor first.
