Applying Green Specs
• Split up into small groups, make sure you are in the same
group as other staff from your council. As a group, answer the
following questions:
1. What experience have you had already?
2. If you were constructing every new road &
maintenance of old roads using the Green
Specs Guide, what opportunities & challenges
can you envisage?
3. For what application would you be comfortable
using recycled materials in your council?
