In another episode of "Two Points with Harbak" our guest is Frank Klostermann who discusses the importance of good regulation, good systems, doing too much, and the critical issue of collaboration between government and the private sector. Thank you, Frank you made some great points! #circulareconomy #recycling #wastemanagement #resourcerecovery #collaboration #government #waste #foodwaste #environment #sustainability

Whilst pulling together some information for a presentation I collated the below stats and felt a pang of pride in what Southern Trident Limited had achieved over the past few years. I think we have a right to be proud of what we have achieved in bringing new , innovative and sustainable products to the garden industry. So while some try to knock coir or make low-carbon claims without any real justification. Why not have a chat with me or one of my team about truly innovative, carbon-neutral accredited and sustainable products that will give your customers success in their gardens rather than the disappointment that some peat-free composts have proven to give over the last few years? #peatfree Responsible Sourcing Scheme #carbonneutral

Brilliant! Pacific Wild Open net-pen farms exploit ocean currents as an oxygen chamber for their crammed salmon, which in return take a big dump on the ocean floor. 🇨🇦 Canada, province of British Columbia, decided today to stop these open net-pen aquacultures by 2029. Bravo 👏 DISCLAIMER: I could say f*** off to a lot of things. No, shout it out at the top of my voice. And that every hour. Every second even, when I think of Pleather. Like our beloved Kim & Co.: They verbally rape leather as a natural product. They fool consumers with crazy and confusing word games into believing that their Pleather is nature-friendly and suitable for vegan consumption and her climate-themed synthetic nipple bra making your nipple go cold when Earth's temperature is rising. Duh, 🙄 In the discussion about sustainability within the fashion industry, it is above all essential to rethink our consumption habits. #LessIsMore! #HighQuality, long-lasting animal #leather can be more environmentally friendly than short-lived vegan plastic alternatives. Non-plastic, animal-free options are being developed and promise a #sustainable leather industry. But until the industry hits the jackpot, sometimes the truth is in the provocation: on that note; F*** off #Pleather.

This is an interesting news item. Living in a town built (in part) on wool wealth it demonstrates how shifts in markets/ perceived value of goods changes over time. It also makes me think what alternatives are available? How can more be done to create markets? How can small producers of wool come together to spin wool, create products in community led businesses? As part of a shift away from fossil fuels and associated byproducts what can be done to promote wool as a sustainable planet friendly product? What part does wool production play in the wider agricultural and construction sectors? Greater Lincolnshire LEP

Palmerston North dumps 55,000 tonnes of rubbish a year 😮 Nearly half of what goes to landfill could be composted, recycled or reused (something we also see in our waste audits and event management services). Just imagine how much more sustainable the world would be if we extracted value from items we often throw into the rubbish by default! While we're optimistic about many long-term plans and concepts to recycle the 'non-recyclable', we do hope to inspire more individuals and businesses to increase their awareness of their waste management for more immediate change.

So, St. Paddy's Day celebrations are kicking off today and include lots of emerald hues here in the US and in Ire.., well Ireland is already pretty green. Sadly, that includes a purported fifty pounds of green food dye pumped into the Chicago River, flowing through Chicago. A garish, unnecessary but popular spectacle among many. Given the dubious history of food additives including effects known and unknown around synthetic dyes, anyone - even those barely awake and paying any attention to the world around them - might pause and wonder what the effects of dyes might be on wildlife... particularly amphibians like frogs and salamanders, who already absorb a great deal of environmental contaminants through their skin. Worms and insects, algae, fish... and birds who consume them... they all get the short end of the stick on that deal. Now though, some celebrants are beginning to suggest maybe we appreciate, respect and try not to harm Nature even if, and maybe especially if, it's just in the name of a bigger, louder, more eye-popping party... lasting a few forgettable hours. I imagine the river will already be the unwilling recipient of tonnage of metallic confetti and all manner of plastics, headed to the oceans where the party never ends. Let's just celebrate Nature's bright and lovely, pure and safe colorin' of the frogs n' th' grass n' th' trees. Because to quote a famous amphibian - Kermit The Frog... "It's not easy bein' green." ______________________________ #stpaddysday #celebration #party #chicagoriver #artificial #synthetic #dye #greendye #environmentalheakth #environmentakrisk #amphibian ##pollution ______________________________ Check out the festivities here on Fox: https://lnkd.in/eHDHahYq Check out the dye bath controversy here on The Week: https://lnkd.in/e9kR2av4.

It's #ArborDay today, and #Macerich is excited to share our commitment to plant more than 100,000 trees in 2024 as part of our “You Pledge We Plant” campaign with One Tree Planted. At Macerich, we prioritize #sustainability as part of our overall #ESG strategy and know that #UrbanReforestation is vital to the health of the planet, our people and our communities. This is particularly true in majority non-white neighborhoods, which have 11% less tree canopy and 14% more artificially built surface area, such as asphalt and cement. Planting trees in these areas could avoid 460 heat-related deaths and 81,000 heat-related illnesses and save 4.3 terawatt hours of electricity per year. As part of the campaign, shoppers at Macerich’s 43 retail centers across the country can pledge to use reusable bags when they shop. Each reusable bag eliminates about 300 single-use bags from landfill trash annually.
