It's Compost Awareness Week! In 2023, DEN collected 265 tons of food waste to be turned into compost. That equates to 173 metric tons of C02e avoided! And that's not all - some of the finished compost is then used to reseed our newly constructed community solar gardens! This is just one of the many steps DEN is taking to become one of the greenest airports in the world. Learn more about DEN's planet-positive actions at https://lnkd.in/gUYUUbjb

🌊 Protecting Our Oceans Starts with Us! 🌊 This September, we’re launching #TheOceanStartsHere Month to empower communities to take action. From exciting activities and competitions to educational sessions, we’re mobilizing collective efforts to keep our rivers—and ultimately, our oceans—clean 🌍. 💡 Recent research from the University of Cape Town has revealed that much of the plastic litter from the Cape Flats River washes ashore near river mouths, impacting marine life and ecosystems we're all connected to. 🏘 Keeping our communities clean isn’t just vital for our livelihood—it’s crucial for the health of our oceans. 🤝 Want to make a real difference? Partner with us to create a ripple effect of change. Let’s collaborate to protect our planet, starting with the rivers in our own backyards. 😁 Read more about #TheOceanStartsHere campaign here: https://lnkd.in/dmbMwjak #Sustainability #EnvironmentalAction #Collaboration #MarineConservation #environmentaleducation #educationforsustainabledevelopment #CaptainFanplastic #TheOceanStartsHere

Thanks to my colleague Tudor Chira post, who gave me the idea to check how DocuSign is helping us to reduce our environmental impact in NHOOD España. This tool, that we implemented 3 years ago, has facilitated and improved our document signing process. This is how much we have saved in NHOOD España. 🌿 Carbon emissions: 1,623 kg less 💧 Water conservation: 16,992 litres saved. 🌳 Wood conservation: 691 kg of wood saved. 🗑 Waste reduction: 112 kg less in landfills.

#latestactivities Freecycle: Transforming trash into treasure In a world increasingly burdened by waste, The Freecycle Network® stands out as a beacon of environmental stewardship and community spirit. With over 5,000 local groups and more than 11 million members globally, this grassroots nonprofit is revolutionising the way we think about giving and receiving. Founded on May 1, 2003, by Deron Beal, Freecycle started as an innovative solution to a common problem. While working for RISE, a Tucson-based nonprofit providing recycling services and transitional employment, Beal noticed that many perfectly usable items were being discarded. Determined to find a more efficient way to repurpose these goods, he created an email group for Tucson residents, allowing them to offer and request items freely. This simple yet powerful idea quickly gained traction, evolving into a global movement. The core mission of Freecycle is straightforward: to keep useful items out of landfills by facilitating free exchanges within local communities. Membership is free, and the only stipulations are that everything offered must be legal, appropriate for all ages, and, of course, free. Users join local town groups, post items they wish to give away or acquire, and arrange pickups directly with one another. This process not only diverts waste from landfills but also fosters a spirit of generosity and community engagement.

On April 22nd each year, Earth Day is celebrated to raise awareness on environmental issues and promote environmental protection. It serves as a reminder of the importance of caring for our planet and encourages individuals, communities, and governments to take action to preserve and sustain the Earth's natural resources for current and future generations. Earth Day activities often include tree planting, litter cleanup campaigns, educational events, recycling drives, and advocacy for policies that support environmental sustainability. These activities should not be done occasionally but should be a culture and habit to protect Mother Nature. Food for thought - What are you doing as an individual to make the world a more sustainable and livable place? #EarthDay2024 #EarthDay #treeplanting #advocacy #recycling

So many great topics being discussed, from harmonization to recycling labeling, Eco modulation, and costs to implement. If you're in packaging, staying informed about EPR is crucial. #EPR #packaging #recycling #sustainability #harmonization
