When it came to mobility at work, it became apparent that some employees in the region are already using cargo and job bikes. The participants were particularly creative when it came to avoiding/separating waste. A mushroom growing pot was lined with leftover coffee grounds or scrap paper was shredded to create artistic paper. The municipality of Oberhofen reported that they can save twelve folders of paper and 15,000 A4 sheets per year as a result of the changeover. During the nutrition week, employees made flavored water from berries and herbs they had planted themselves.

When it came to saving energy, humor was not neglected either: the company Escad did not cool down with air conditioning on hot summer days, but by taking a break from the inside with ice. And the municipality of Zell am Moos called for people to do without electricity in the office and only work with slide rules and headlamps.
