The winning entry in Legg Mason’s GREEN employee resource group’s “Think Green” employee competition was designed to reduce employees’ plastic usage by using fewer plastic bin liners. The “Bin the Bin” initiative now encourages employees to remove their individual waste bins from under their desks and instead use communal ones. It’s estimated that Legg Mason offices in three locations alone — Baltimore, New York and Stamford — use 125,000 bin liners a year. Our London and Sydney offices have also been strong supporters, with 100% of staff having kicked the individual bin habit.
