What role does sustainability play in our event planning process?🌱 “Sustainability plays a big role in our event planning process. I perceive sustainability in a much broader sense though, and it plays a role in each event we organize. We try to create a long lasting impact on the community as well - education, social responsibility, planting trees, etc. Sustainability is not only about being paperless and CO2 neutral, it’s our daily life as well.🤲🌎💚  What we do to achieve sustainability is to plan, optimize, use our resources effectively, we do not waste, and if any waste is created, we make sure to sort it and to reuse where possible.♻️ We look for sustainable options and we go for it only if it makes sense, and not just because someone calls it a “sustainable” approach.😉” - Barbora Vesela (Frycova), Co-Founder of d&b confluence.

We believe that the most important part of sustainability goes so much further than simply using eco-friendly materials. This is ultimately how we create homes that last, alongside solutions that keep the environmental impact as low as possible, are energy-efficient and durable.

Sustainability is a complex and multi-faceted concept that often falls prey to misconceptions. Two prevalent myths are that “recycling fixes everything” and “electric cars are the ultimate solution.” Let’s explore these myths and suggest more effective alternatives.

A sustainability project at Cygnet Lodge Kenton has been well received by service users and staff, leading to a reduction in waste and a positive environmental impact. Since its launch in August this year, the initiative has resulted in an 80% decrease in the use of single-use items. Following meetings with staff and service users, a plan was developed to enhance sustainability efforts in line with Cygnet’s R-World Co-Sustain programme. Co-Sustain empowers service users and staff to take sustainability into their own hands, using the principles of coproduction to raise awareness and educate individuals on meaningful changes they can make to have a positive impact on the environment. Colleagues at the service realised that actions to reduce waste aligned well with plans to promote service user independence and the project gained momentum. Emily Courtier, Hospital Manager at Cygnet Lodge Kenton, said: “It has been a pleasure to see the staff and service users coming together to find solutions that work better for them and empower them to be more independent, while also considering their environmental impact.” Find out more below: https://ow.ly/iUIB50UeN64
