You need to develop your awareness of the where and how your workplace may impact on the environment. You will do this by looking at what goes in, what goes on, and what goes out of your organisation.

Take a closer look at your own workplace.

Where is it sited?
What sort of situation is it in?
How did it get planning permission?
Does it fit the surrounding area?
Who decides what goes on?

Everything we do at work affects the environment. The whole purpose of work is to produce "goods". We build and run such things as factories, roads, bridges, hospitals, schools, farms, railways, trains, planes, and houses.

We make many useful things.

But not everything we do at work is "good".
