Re-Source is a unique Hawke's Bay service, tailored to specific community needs. The third step in our Cycle of Sustainability and Resilience is 'Reducing Waste by Turning Landfill into Valuable Resources.' Did you know that every year, we repurpose hundreds of pillows and thousands of clothing items through our efforts? We transform items destined for the rubbish into valuable resources to support our communities. Transforming old bedding material into brand new pet beds for animal shelters or draft excluders for drafty homes is just one of the many examples of how we work to turn waste into value here at Re-Source. Through collaboration, we're working to build a brighter future for those in need.

🌍🌱 Celebrating Earth Day with a Green Impact! 🌱🌍 As we honor Earth Day, we're proud to spotlight our commitment to environmental sustainability. Our green journey includes initiatives like Angela’s Trees, eWaste recycling, coastal cleanup days, and laptop donations, all contributing to our Green Business Certification. 🌳 Angela’s Trees Initiative In memory of Angela Witmer, our passionate Director of Business Process Improvement, we've made remarkable strides with Angela’s Trees. Since its inception in 2022, we've planted 47,423 trees worldwide, including nearly 23,000 in 2023 alone. We’ve already planted more than 6,000 trees in 2024! 🔄 eWaste Recycling & Laptop Donations Our commitment extends beyond planting trees. We’re actively engaged in eWaste recycling and repurposing electronics, ensuring they have a second life while reducing landfill waste. In fact, our program received the 2023 Sustainability Excellence Award by Evergreen IT Solutions. 🌊 Coastal Cleanups Our teams also participate in coastal cleanup days, preserving the natural beauty and health of marine environments. 💧 Achieving Green Business Certification This certification is not just a title—it’s our promise to exceed environmental standards, prevent pollution, reduce waste, conserve energy, and save water. 🌎 #LanguageLine #LanguageLineSolutions #EarthDay2024 #GreenBusiness #Sustainability #ReduceReuseRecycle

Do you know an environmental or community hero? Dover District Council (DDC) is announcing the third year of its popular #environmental #awards scheme. The REACH Awards (Recognising Environmental And Community Heroes) recognise our district’s unsung heroes who work hard to improve the appearance of the Dover District, help to maintain our environment and unite the local community. Split into five different categories, the scheme acknowledges those individuals and groups who work tirelessly to make a difference, as well as local businesses who are putting the environment at the top of their agenda. The awards are free to enter, and candidates can nominate themselves or others in the following categories: •        Litter picker of the year (over 18) •        Junior litter picker of the year (under 18) •        Green Business Award •        Community Impact Award •        Green School Award For local #businesses, the judges are looking for those who have introduced initiatives to become more sustainable to help the planet. This could be anything from conserving water, using greener products, encouraging greener ways of travelling to work, planting shrubs or trees and recycling more to using alternative energy sources for power. The Community Impact Award will be judged on #community initiatives that successfully draw #residents together to work towards a common goal. This could be an informal group or a more established local charity, working hard to demonstrate that they’re caring for and improving the #environment, and making a difference to the lives of local people. https://lnkd.in/e3UtTi7S #dover #deal #sandwich #localheroes #REACHAwards

We did it! We have reached our biggest and most trashy milestone yet: 100 Tons of Trash Collected From The Ocean! 💯 In a time when the climate crisis and environmental issues are at the top of the agenda, we believe that GreenKayak has established ourselves as an extraordinary force for change. We celebrate a remarkable milestone, namely that together with our volunteers, partners, and host, we have collected 100 tons of trash from the ocean. This achievement is not just an impressive feat; it is an expression of what can be achieved when people commit to making a difference 🛶💚   We stand with feelings of joy and pride as it is a HUGE achievement for us! But it also reflects many other things. In addition to our 100 tons of trash, we have also experienced an impressively high interest in our kayaks in recent months. In the 2023 season, we can say that there have been over 100 people out in our kayaks every day to collect trash and contribute to the collection of 100 tons of trash. A broader awakening among the general population worldwide about the importance of protecting the sea and nature: it feels incredible for our small organization. We owe a big THANK you to our volunteers, partners, and hosts 💚 Even though 100 tons of trash is HUGE for us, we must also be sincere and say that despite having collected 100 tons of trash, unfortunately, there is nothing in our numbers and analysis that indicates that we will not also be able to collect 100, 200, 300 more tons of trash in the waters where our kayaks operate. GreenKayak does not just want to be an environmental NGO but also a vital source of education and information on how we can make sustainable choices in the future. Therefore, during the next weeks and months, we will be sharing our findings and the impact of our 100 tons of trash. This includes findings about people’s commitment, the trash in concrete numbers, findings about our different locations, some future forecasts, and much more. What impact do you think GreenKayaks has on people? 🙌 #GreenKayak #paddleforcleaneroceans Tobias Weber-Andersen Oke Carstensen Emma Bahne Madsen Ambre Péhoré-Ropars Biotherm Greentel Miljøpunkt Nørrebro UTEGUIDEN C WorldWide Asset Management LETZ SUSHI Carlsberg Group Buro Scanbrit DGI Naturcenter Amager Strand Bootshaus Bergedorf Paddel-Meier Bootsvermietung Seehaus Hamburg GmbH Fjord CleanUP Höganäs kommun Hotel Slottsvillan Sjöhistoriska Photo: @jereviinikainen
