Sustainable Celebrations: How to Make a Positive Impact on Your Community As we celebrate our nation's independence, let's not forget the importance of taking care of our planet. Composting is a simple yet effective way to reduce food waste and create a more sustainable future. 🔹 Designate a bin or pile for collecting food scraps and yard waste 🔹 Balance "green" materials (food scraps) with "brown" materials (dried leaves, twigs) 🔹 Add festive food waste like watermelon peels and coffee grounds to your compost pile 💪 Consider investing in a high-tech composting system like the Reencle Home Composter, which can turn your food waste into nutrient-rich compost in just 24 hours! 🌱 By making small changes like composting, we can collectively make a significant impact on our community and environment. Let's work together to create a more sustainable future. 💪 #Sustainability #Composting #GreenLiving #IndependenceDay

Low waste living can be simpler than you think. At last week’s event ‘Let’s talk waste’, Kate Hall (Ethically Kate) shared the following steps you can take:     🌿Treat your stuff with respect – Be conscious about the stuff you let into your home, think about the responsibility of using, repairing, storing, and cleaning that each item of stuff holds.       🌿Refuse and reuse over recycle – Before you buy something that is “recyclable”, think about what you already have and whether you actually need it. Consider that only 9% of recyclable items have ever been recycled.       🌿Compost – Food waste is a precious resource can be turned into lush soil that can grow more food. Don’t have access to a compost heap? Connect with your friends and neighbours to create a community compost!      #WasteEd #UCSustainability #SDG12

We're motivated by the belief that life is best lived on a clean planet. 💙 🌊  And we're always motivated when Rizal is on the case. More than 2 billion people dispose of their trash in nature because no one collects it. We’re changing that. Our CleanHubs connect people in coastal communities to waste collection. Preventing plastic from ever polluting our environment. Waste collection is door-to-door, or directly from beaches or rivers, creating safe and dignified jobs with fair pay and opportunities. To date, we have collected 9,529,204 kg of waste. And have connected more than 225,587 households to waste management. Join 300+ companies protecting our oceans by preventing plastic pollution, while improving lives. Take action today 👉 https://lnkd.in/d8_4Ag-R

Effective reuse systems are inclusive and accessible to all communities. As cities increasingly drive policies that limit single-use waste, Kelly York noted that the costs or other limitations of reusables are significant barriers that prevent businesses in disadvantaged areas from adopting reusables. She also expressed that building relationships with business owners is "crucial to establish trust and connect businesses with zero waste solutions that work best for them." Likewise, LA Sanitation & Environment recently announced a reusable foodware microgrant program that will support small businesses in "economically and environmentally challenged neighborhoods." We appreciate and celebrate DEI-focused reuse systems like these! Read more in the article below. https://lnkd.in/dYQMv6Gu

Event Tip 👉 Have a cleanup plan.   Your event doesn’t end when your attendees leave.   Consider every little detail from setup to teardown.   Don’t forget about recycling, composting, and trash removal. These services are sometimes included in venue fees, however, remember to ask about them upfront. Who does what and how?   While you can't count on every single guest to throw their trash in the appropriate bins, setting up separate bins for food waste, recyclables, and non-recyclables will make it easier, as most of the similar waste materials will already be grouped together.   A successful event is all about the details, even the small ones. #EventTips #TuesdayTips #EventDesign #Production #AVTweeps #AV #EventProfs #EventMarketing #MeetingPlanner #LiveEvents

♻ Happy Zero Waste Week to one and all ♻ This week WE are celebrating all the things WE do because WE choose to do, not because WE are told to. #Fact 1 The solar panels on the roof of our Bristol based home, The Rummer Hotel generate 20% of the electricity in our building. You may not think that's an unearthly percentage but, it actually is and allows our basement based distillery to be completely powered by the sun. #Fact 2 We are one of the few distilleries that recycle our ethanol/neutral grain spirit and re-distill it rather than dispose of it. We are constantly looking for innovate ways to keep our distillery based-home a greener and more sustainable place. What are you doing 🤔 #sustainable #bristolbusiness
