In the latest episode of the Be Curious Podcast with Louise Houghton, we hear from Atlantic Packaging and Founder of A New Earth Project, Wes Carter. Wes dives deep into the challenges and innovative solutions in sustainable packaging. We often overlook the packaging that surrounds almost every product we use, yet it’s a significant contributor to plastic waste—nearly 50%! The energy and resources needed to produce this packaging are immense, but solutions are within reach. Tune in to Episode 11 and explore how we can rethink packaging for a better future. 🌱 https://lnkd.in/eFyeak22 #Sustainability #PackagingInnovation #ANewEarthProject #BeCurious #AtlanticPackaging #SustainablePackaging

Spending time in nature offers a wealth of benefits for our physical, mental, and emotional health. Research indicates that immersing ourselves in the outdoors for at least 120 minutes per week can significantly boost well-being. To harness these advantages, Atlantic Wellness challenged employees to embrace the great outdoors for a minimum of 120 minutes weekly throughout July. We shared the fun and inspiration through photos and videos, fostering a collective commitment to nature. Moreover, a deep connection to nature often inspires us to protect it. This aligns with Atlantic Packaging's vision of creating a healthier planet and healthier people. Becca Schusler, MSEd, CHES #Wellness #WorkplaceWellness #GetOutside #Nature
