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. ☝️

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.

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 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.
