Last Friday was the UN’s World Environment Day. Being Good Energy, we couldn’t let it go by without getting up to some fun stuff.

Remember Mufti days at school? They were always more fun. Well we don’t have a uniform here at GE (beards and sandals aren’t compulsory) so we imposed a green dress code for the day to mark the occasion. The money raised was donated to our partner the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust. We had a really interesting chat with their Head of Biochemistry Bill Jenman, who came to visit and give us the low down. Take a look at their site to see what great projects they have got running…

The day was also a perfect time to launch our all new Green Team who head up environmental initiatives in the office. As you can imagine, we’re already pretty good, but there’s always room for improvement. We ran a competition for the best low-cost eco-ideas and as a result are starting up a swap shop in the building for clothes and furniture etc, along with a plastic bag recycling scheme.

No special day at Good Energy would be complete without a cake. So we had a competition to see who could bake the tastiest and most eco-friendly cake – out of organic local produce, natch. The taste off was a tough job, but someone had to do it.

The winner was David Hodges for this beauty….

What talent!

We all had loads of fun ... it was a good way of reminding us why we work for Good Energy and a chance to step back and think about the big picture.
