"We feel so green!"
On 2 September 2009, Academy's Cleaning Team met at the 6 star green building, SA Water House to celebrate not only the new standards of the Clean Start Collective Agreement, but also that they are cleaning Adelaide's landmark green building.
When asked by Clean Start organisers how they feel cleaning a 6 Star building, they spontaneously replied,
"We feel so green!"
"It's great to work with environmentally sound chemicals", cleaners said.
Cleaning waterless urinals with AAA rating, light sensors that automatically switch on and off are positives for cleaners.
"We also have increased knowledge about recycling", cleaners added.
"There are no rubbish bins at each desk. We have responsibility to service recycling stations located at easily accessible points in the building."
Clear and clean!
Cleaners also take pride in keeping the array of glass panels inside the building clear and clean.
This 6 Star 'green building' is really like winning the 'trifecta':
• Clean Start contractor;
• SA Government tenant support for Clean Start;
• Cleaners contributing to a "green future".
