The problem

Our planet’s resources are finite & overconsumption has led to rapid rises in the amount of carbon in our atmosphere, accelerating climate change and increasing both flooding and water shortages.

It has also caused the destruction of habitat leading to the extinction of many species of plants and animals and increased pollution in our air, oceans and on land.

We all need to rethink our approach and play our part in creating a better planet for future generations.

Business as usual is not an option.

What can we do?

Reduce

Reducing consumption is a fundamental principle in the fight against waste, landfill, use of fossil fuels and the resulting release of greenhouse gases in the form of methane and CO2. The objective is to strive for a continual reduction in the size of our individual & collective carbon footprints.

Reuse

If a product can be used again, either for its original purpose or for something different, then its useful life has been extended.

Recycle

Most products that have reached the end of their useful life can be recycled. These products provide the raw materials for recycling facilities and without a constant source of waste materials recycling is impossible.

Reorder

There are sustainable alternatives for many everyday consumer goods. Demand for these products is a key element supporting sustainability so buying recycled or eco products is critical.
