We believe in empowering #volunteerism. We do so with local volunteers, corporate volunteers, #AEISECvolunteers #Workawayvolunteers and many more. We also believe in ecosystem restoration, specifically degraded forest ecosystems by planting tree by tree, an acre by acre. #VolunteeringinSriLanka #Rainforestvolunteers #Rainforestprotectors #Worawayvolunteers #universityexchangeprogramme #Erasmus

Climate Journal: News to Make Waves wrote about Hometree partnership with The Canopy Sligo, as Szilvia Szabó writes: “The Canopy shopping centre in Sligo facilitated a unique collaboration when its owners decided to acquire nearly 90 acres of land for restoration to support Hometree, a charity dedicated to establishing and conserving permanent native woodland. Situated along the Easkey River in South Sligo, this land is a unique blend of peatland, blanket bog, pockets of ancient Hazelwood, and species-rich grassland. Ray Ó Foghlú, Hometree’s Development Lead, says: ‘We hope this location will become a showcase site for us and local landowners will see what is possible. We have plans for a farmer outreach programme here, providing information and financial support for woodland creation along the Easkey River, besides other educational and community programmes.’ Ray adds, that involving farmers is crucial to making this a reality. In the past 2.5 years, he has worked with hundreds of farmers on land restoration and biodiversity projects. ‘I believe observation is the beginning of devotion – you have to see it to fall in love with something. In this case, once we can make farmers see what they have on their farms and understand the benefits, it can change their perspective, and they could become advocates for nature with an additional sense of pride.’” Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/dH2zpRFz These are the unlikely alliances that are required to deliver transformational and inclusive change.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced budget cuts that, if enacted, will essentially wipe out #communitycomposting infrastructure in #NYC, as well as threaten widely used #foodwaste drop-off sites operated by GrowNYC at Greenmarkets throughout the city. “NYC has long been a leader not only in #composting, but community composting … that keeps the composting process and #compost use local, while offering community engagement and education opportunities,” according to Institute for Local Self-Reliance. ILSR’s 2022 Community Composter Census identified New York as home to the largest concentration of community composters in the U.S.—a thriving ecosystem of local businesses, environmental nonprofits, and neighborhood gardens. #climate

How Important are Volunteering Days? Our friends at HIVE CLEANING LTD | B CORP have created an amazing project with over 6 acres of meadowland in Devon which they have appropriately named ‘Hive Wood’. Their aim over the next 15 years, through this project is to help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, enhance the biodiversity for flora and fauna and return the wood back to traditional broadleaf forest. Louis Beaumont C.Env.Cln. CIWFM MIoD MBICSc, Hive Cleaning’s Manging Director, brought together an energetic team consisting of their family members, staff and clients as well as our Manging Director, Marc who was only too happy to get stuck in with the team helping to plant trees to support this fantastic project. Our friends at HIVE CLEANING LTD | B CORP are a B Corp certified, ethical office cleaning company who are committed to making a positive impact on the environment and were delighted to support them in this worthy initiative. At Futures Supplies we believe that volunteering is good for both physical and mental wellbeing. It’s good for the planet too especially when it involves supporting our client and planting trees!! https://buff.ly/3PHR0zf #washroomsupplies #cleaningsupplies #janitorialsupplies #sustainability #facilities #cleaning #FacilitiesManagement #CleaningIndustry #facman #facilities

We were not sure if we could actually get the weight of the skip contents for our World Oceans Day cleanup at Xemxija, so we estimated around a ton for the total. But we did in fact get the official weight from Veladrians Cleaning Services, and when all the official numbers we added up, we were amazed to see that we had actually removed a total of 2.25 tons of rubbish from Xemxija Bay. That is incredible! Once again, well done to everyone. This is huge, but it also highlights the enormity of the problem we face. #worldoceansday #sustainability #volunteering #givingbacktothecommunity #igamingnews #notoplasticmalta #plasticpollution #cleantheoceans #igamingindustry #csrinitiatives
