Most of us spend most of our waking lives working. And how we feel about it is important. Change The World 9 To 5 imagines the best possible working environment – the best way to spend our 9 to 5 – not just to change the world but also to make everyone happier. So how do we do that?
There are surprisingly small differences we can all make – if every office worker wasted just one less staple, for instance, we'd save 88 tonnes of steel every year.
This book is full of simple, everyday actions that almost anyone can do during the working day. It begins with Action 51, picking up where the bestselling 'Change The World For Ten Bucks' left off, and gives inspiring but practical tips on how to change your world. Actions range from more familiar habits, like Recycle waste paper to less conventional ones, like Bring your kids into work for the day. No tips are too small ('Smile when you answer the phone') because they often have far-reaching consequences.
As with 'Change the World for Ten Bucks', this book has been created by writers, illustrators, designers, photographers and researchers who have donated their time and talents. Money raised from book sales is used to develop other We Are What We Do initiatives in Australia and around the world.
