Visual Action Plan

Sustainability at work

The work is practical: recycle better, reuse supplies, print less, conserve water, think about transportation, and support team wellbeing.

Wellbeing

Sustain ourselves

Breaks, mindfulness, movement, natural light, and walking meetings can support the people doing the work.

Paper

Print with intention

Defaulting to double-sided printing helps reduce paper use and keeps resources focused where they matter.

Reuse

Office supplies, second life

The shared reuse bin helps supplies move from not needed here to useful somewhere else.

Grove Street Systems

Simple systems make participation easier.

Recycling bin

Used toners, batteries, chargers, and other recyclable items now have a shared collection point. Tape both ends of batteries before placing them in the bin.

Office supply exchange

Unused supplies can be shared with the team before being sent to surplus.

Visible reminders

Signs about water usage, transportation, recycling, and reuse help keep sustainability present in shared spaces.

UVA Health Connection

Part of a larger sustainable healthcare effort

CAP's project connects to UVA Health goals around waste reduction, water conservation, responsible resource stewardship, and healthier environments.

Participation

Everyone has a role

The best sustainability work is shared. Each small decision contributes to a workplace that is healthier, less wasteful, and easier to sustain over time.
