Welcome to Copenhagen, the 'greenest capital in the world'. Really, Copenhagen Marathon & Københavns Kommune, was there really no better solution than polluting our city with tens of thousands of single-use cups that will remain in the environment long after the marathon ends? A marathon is supposed to be a celebration of human health and spirit. How does this contribute to either?

🏝️Tilos = the 1st Zero Waste Island 🚮 A Circular Innovation Center at the core👇🏽 I love this impact story. A Greek enterpreneur had the idea to take a full island "Zero Waste". And he did it: @Athanasios Polychronopoulos. Not surprisingly: The project is fully circular ➡️ No public dust bins. ➡️ A Circular Innovation Center, which used to be the landfill. ➡️ The Center for Creative Upcycling creates products and jobs. ➡️ The concept includes tourists and their activities. 3 things that stand out for me: 1️⃣ Collaboration is key: The success of Tilos' zero waste initiative was made possible through the collaboration of all households, businesses, the municipality, and the initiating entrepreneur. By working together towards a common goal, they were able to achieve remarkable results in a short period of time. 2️⃣ Embracing change: Tilos' residents, including the elderly, enthusiastically embraced the zero waste lifestyle, proving that change is possible when a community is committed to a cause. The island's mayor, Maria Kamma-Aliferi, highlighted the profound impact the project has had on both the environment and the local community. 3️⃣ Adaptability: Despite the challenges of being a small island located far from the capital, Tilos' team found innovative solutions to collect, separate, and process waste streams. The island's Circular Innovation Center now serves as a model for other small Mediterranean islands looking to transition to a zero waste future. Let's bring that clarity and future vision everywhere. Love it! #circulareconomy #zerowaste Credit: WEF

A 101 vid: Recycling is not the answer From throw-way to go-away👇🏽 If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a video worth? This video is worth a lot. It shows the un-sustainability we have entered into: ➡️ Craving products ➡️ Making them somewhere on the globe ➡️ Shipping and flying them around ➡️... and needing to close the loop. Every year 2 billion tons of waste are produced across the world.  Let's bring that topic home, create a better future. Let's make a circular economy happen: In your city, company or organisation. Follow the Rs... 1. Reconnect 2. Refuse 3. Rethink 4. Reduce 5. Reuse 6. Repair 7. Refurbish 8. Remanufacture 9. Repurpose 10. Recycle and Recover And gimme a call if you are truly stuck 🙏🏻😀 #circulareconomy #waste #linkedintopvoices Credits to Environmental Paper Network for the video.

En Leroy Merlin - España sabemos que cada pequeño gesto cuenta en la construcción de un mundo más sostenible. Gracias a nuestros partners de Compass Group a partir de hoy podemos salvar la comida de nuestra cafetería de la sede con el servicio SAVE&GO, un proyecto basado en la venta de los excedentes de comida que no se han vendido en el día. El objetivo es que no se desperdicie comida y que pueda ser aprovechada por todos los empleados por un precio más económico. Más de 1.200 millones de kilos de alimentos son desperdiciados cada año en nuestro país. Esto supone que 23,6 millones de kilos de comida acaban en la basura cada semana. El despilfarro alimentario es una de las más importantes lacras que arrastran los países del primer mundo, y la contribución en la reducción del desperdicio alimentario es cuestión de todos. No sólo conlleva un alto impacto en la sociedad, sino que al enviar menos residuos alimentarios a los vertederos y garantizar que no se desperdicien alimentos en buen estado, contribuimos a mitigar el cambio climático y aliviamos la presión sobre los recursos naturales. Gracias Pablo Noblejas Arroyo, Rafa Muñoz San Miguel, y todo el equipo de Servicios Internos por la iniciativa. A Alejandra Páramo por seguir innovando, y a ALICIA NAVAS GONZALEZ de Compass Group por explicarme todo tan bien. Ha sido super fácil probar el nuevo servicio. #StopFoodWaste #ImpactoPostivo #UnHogarNoNaceUnHogarSeHace #LeroyMerlin #SomosLeroyMerlin #WeAreADEO #foodwaste #zerowaste #food #sustainable #sostenibilidad # #socialimpact #ecofriendly
