ENERGY CONSUMPTION // Every business has an enviro ENERGY CONSUMPTION // Every business has an environmental impact, and a substantial part of this comes from the energy used to run buildings and equipment. Unless you already have a super-efficient premises, a lot of this energy will be wasted – lost through gaps in the building fabric (think single-glazed windows, poor insulation, unblocked chimneys etc) or caused by old and inefficient technology such as boilers.⚡️

This means that there’s a huge opportunity for every business in the wedding industry to reduce their carbon emissions and the cost of their energy bill by making simple changes to stop wasting energy.🚦But where do you start? 

We asked the team at Energy Solutions Oxfordshire what their top three tips are to reduce energy consumption right now. Check out their advice over on the blog now. ☝️

IT'S TIME TO FIND OUT // As part of the Sustainabl IT'S TIME TO FIND OUT // As part of the Sustainable Wedding Alliance’s commitment to making the wedding industry more sustainable, we’re launching an industry wide survey to find out what the drivers are for businesses when it comes to being sustainable. We want to understand what sustainability means to you, where you are on your journey and how we can help you along the way.  We want to make sure that the support we provide works for you. 

We'll be announcing the results as part of the Sustainable Wedding Summit on Thursday 6th May. No personal or business specific details will be shared. 

Thank you, we really appreciate your time.

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY // Over half the world accep TAKING RESPONSIBILITY // Over half the world accept that climate change is a global emergency. In February this year, the United Nations Development Programme‘s @undp announced the results of the “Peoples’ Climate Vote“, the largest survey of public opinion on climate change so far. It surveyed over half the world’s population! 64% percent of people believe climate change is a global emergency, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The policies that had wide-ranging support, with the most popular being conserving forests and land (54% public support), more solar, wind and renewable power (53%), adopting climate-friendly farming techniques (52%) and investing more in green businesses and jobs (50%).

Everywhere we look we’re bombarded with stories on climate change, the environment and the pandemic, we know we need to change our ways, and soon.

But what can you do now to make your business more sustainable? Check out our blog post "What is Sustainability?" for some practical tips to get you started.

PROTECT OUR PLANET // Forests are a lifeline for b PROTECT OUR PLANET // Forests are a lifeline for both people and planet, and are the 2nd largest global store of carbon on our planet.

We've put together 7 ways you can help protect our forests and the wildlife that live in them:

🖨Ditch the printer and go digital – trees are cut down for paper, so in simple terms the less we print, the less trees are cut down. Send quotes, contracts and invoice by email. There is some really easy to use software that allows you to manage your business admin completely digitally – check out @hellosignhq for contracts and @quickbooksuk or @xero for your invoices

💷Make sure your banking is paperless – opt to receive your statements by email. Ethical banks such as @starlingbank also offer a completely paper free service

🌳Only buy @foreststewardshipcounciluk certified wood products – you can be assured that products with the FSC logo have been sourced in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way

🪑Avoid buying new furniture – if you’re buying wooden furniture considering buying secondhand first, quality wooden furniture lasts for years. Check out @thecoggingroup who are saving quality office furniture from landfill ♻️

🧻Make some simple swaps in the bathroom – swap paper towels for an energy efficient hand dryer and regular toilet paper for bamboo toilet paper

👎🏻Paper plates are completely unnecessary – avoid them at all costs. If you really need to use disposable plates then opt for ones made with more sustainable material such as bamboo

🌱Plant trees! – either on your own land or using a tree planting scheme such as @ecologi_hq (worldwide), @treesforcities (UK based) or search for an organisation local to you

💚Education is key, talk to your colleagues about how collectively you can make a difference.

Ultimately, we need to raise awareness amongst the policy makers. @friends_earth are leading the way and have put 5 suggestions to Government to protect our forests.

TOO PRECIOUS TO LOSE // When we drink a glass of w TOO PRECIOUS TO LOSE // When we drink a glass of water, write in a notebook, or build a new home, we don’t always make the connection with forests. Yet these and many other parts if our lives are linked to forests one way or another. 

Forests are a lifeline for both people and planet, and are the second largest global store of carbon on our planet. Yet they are being cleared, burned or degraded at an alarming rate. Over the decades we've seen an increasing decline of our forests, with deforestation being a big cause of natural disasters.  Deforestation is the second-leading cause of climate change after burning fossil fuels. It accounts for nearly 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions, that's more than the planet's entire transport emissions!

As a force for good, our forest 🌲superheros act as the ultimate carbon sink, absorbing the equivalent of roughly 2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. But like any superhero though, they have a flaw. Deforestation is their kryptonite. 🪵 When trees are cut down, they release this carbon dioxide back into the air. 

Today is #internationalforestday 🌳The theme is "Forest restoration: a path to recovery and well being.” If you want to find out more about what International Day of the Forest or what you can do to support our planet’s forests, check out the blog on our website.

RECYCLE // ♻️Today is global recycling day, a RECYCLE // ♻️Today is global recycling day, a day to raise awareness of how important it is to recycle products that can no longer be used. There are obvious environmental benefits to recycling, but did you know that recycling could save your business money, and help to create a positive company culture? 💚

Recycling contributes to the protection of our planet, both by reducing the amount of waste going to landfill and cutting the carbon emissions usually caused by general waste disposal. 

Not only that, recycling can really help staff to engage with your sustainability objectives, boost your staff’s morale, giving them ownership over positive change, showing that one person's actions can have a big impact when everyone makes a collective effort.

Recycling can save you money too! By working with the right local waste management company you can reduce your overall costs. 💷

Putting a responsible waste management plan in place for your business should be high on your list but remember - always aim to reduce first, then reuse before recycling.
