We are at a crossroads. Our planet is warming, our oceans are becoming saturated with plastics and species are becoming extinct at an unprecedented rate. We must act now before it is too late.
Our Pale Blue Dot is our only home. It is our collective responsibility to conserve it, not only for ourselves but so that future generations inherit a planet with a stable and sustainable future and offers them the same opportunities that we afforded to their parents and grandparents before them. Without significant changes to the way we think and act this sustainable future is in danger. Current research suggests over 1 million plant and animal species currently face extinction, many within decades as a direct result of human activities, whilst global carbon emissions and resultant global warming continue to increase and threaten livelihoods across the globe.
Despite these frightening truths, there is hope. Our actions, however small, make a difference. By changing the way you and your business think and operate you can be a part of creating a better future for our planet. Whether that’s by banning single use plastics in your office or rethinking your energy use, we believe the key to positive change comes from developing an environmental ethos that motivates and empowers your team and can be applied to all aspects and decisions.
We truly believe in our role as drivers of positive change and we think you do too. Together we can make a difference to the future of our planet.
This year 5 trillion plastic bags will be consumed. That’s 160,000 a second. Put one after another they would go around the world 7 times every hour and cover an area twice the size of France. (Source: TheWorldCounts)
130,000 square kilometres of forests are cut down or burned every year - equivalent to 3x the area of Denmark, a football field every 1.4 seconds, or 100 large harvesters working non-stop. (Source: TheWorldCounts)
