Sample: The Ministry of Administrative Affairs needed to dispose of 15 tonnes of secret files each year. Consultant Bob's sustainable solution reduced waste and conserved energy while protecting national security. Industrial shredders rendered files unreadable and put them into a form suitable for building insulation. New, fewer government secrets are leaked and improved insulation has enhanced soundproofing in government buildings and reduced heating costs by 25%.
