Eversheds supports office with green bras" /> Eversheds has hit on an uplifting way to be green by recycling the underwire of bras to support what it hopes will be the most environmentally friendly office in the City.
The firm has incorporated the underwire of bras into the 160,000sq ft flooring in its new, £11.6m London building at One Wood Street, which will be completed in May.
An Eversheds insider said: "We've climbed mountains to achieve what we believe is one of the most sustainable offices in the City, which includes grass on the roof and a herb garden for the cafeteria to boot."
It is understood that the bra underwire will be used for several purposes, including supporting, lifting and separating the floors in the building.

I hear the build has been beset with problems- I wouldn't be surprised if they ran out of building materials and had a whip round the female staff!

herb garden
What a great idea to have a herb garden, but do avoid the garlic and take care with Rue!

Fools!
Didn't someone say, "don't build your house on bras"?
I think The Lawyer is the real fool - they're a day early!
