Do you like to snorkel or dive on holiday? If so this week's #SustainabilitySunday is for you. I want to share a scheme that is a hugely useful for people who care about the health of coral reefs and how tourism affects them. @green_fins members (dive centres, snorkelling centres, liveaboards) protect and conserve coral reefs by following environmental guidelines that promote a sustainable diving and snorkelling industry. If you see your activity provider is a Green Fins member, you can be certain they follow a set of principles such not touching or anchoring on corals. Want to check the Green Fins members around where you'll next be holidaying? You can search them via the link in my stories or Sustainability highlight. I know I'll be recommending Green Fins members to my customers from now on - will you be using this resource too? #SustainableTourism #ResponsibleTourism #Snorkelling #Scuba #Diving #GreenFin #GreenFins #CoralReefs #Coral

🧺💐As you set up for your backyard picnic, every decision is made with the goal of reducing your carbon footprint. Instead of driving to a distant park, you’ve chosen to stay home, minimizing transportation emissions. The table for your picnic is a repurposed wooden pallet, salvaged from a nearby construction site, reducing the need for new materials and lowering carbon emissions associated with manufacturing. Right in the comfort of your own home. You gather some indoor items, repurposing them for your outdoor adventure. Cushions from your living room find their place on the grass, providing comfortable seating. A soft, up-cycled blanket serves as the perfect picnic spread. The wildflowers from your garden add a touch of beauty while supporting local biodiversity, further enhancing the eco-friendly ambiance of your backyard picnic. Making your picnic both environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing. You’ve been mindful of your eco footprint, choosing to stay home and make the most of what you have. It’s a testament to the idea that small, thoughtful choices can make a big difference in reducing our impact on the planet. • • • #picnicwithpine #picnicwithpine #CarbonFootprintFriendly #LocalAndSustainable #GreenPicnic #EcoConsciousLiving #LowCarbonLifestyle #ZeroWastePicnic #SustainableEating #BackyardCarbonNeutral #ClimateActionNow #PicnicForThePlanet #sustainabilitysunday #sundayforsustainability #sustainablesunday

Environmental control systems using geothermal energy designed for the Garage and Historic House is one of the sustainability measures in our Master Preservation Plan. In the summer, heat from these buildings will be submerged into the ground; in the winter, heat will be extracted from energy stored in the earth. This will help preserve historical resources while reducing the environmental footprint. #SustainabilitySunday #Sustainability #environment

♻️ #SustainabilitySunday - Packaging. All the boxes and envelopes used for your orders is re-used & recycled cardboard from parcels we receive and collected from family & friends along with unbleached recyclable tissue paper and paper tape. Although I reuse outer packaging, this in no way reflects the quality of your lovingly handmade purchase that I carefully wrap in biodegradable tissue paper. I hope that you don't mind but if you do, please put a note with your order and I will use new boxes when requested that are made from recycled paper. What is one thing you do to be more sustainable, either in your business or at home?

This is a post from our friends at @panetark who depict vegetables that are seasonal to Autumn and Winter in Australia. Why does this matter? With cost of living on the rise, and grocery prices among one of many major household costs, shopping for produce which is in season can actually be cheaper and save you money. How? Because vegetables are naturally more likely to grow, farmers and suppliers are required to spend less on farming and transport of produce. This also reduces the impact on the environment as less energy is required to produce in season produce. Win win! #smpteam #sustainability #sustainabilitysunday #values #captainsustainability #smallchanges #seasonalvegetables #shoplocal #growyourown #seasonalproduce

Don’t litter. It’s not hard is it? And for the idiots that don’t get it, we will literally pick up after them. There are bins EVERYWHERE. Took Bear for a walk today on a path I use to run on, go to my physio, use as a short cut to my hairdressers. I walk and run it hundreds of times. There are bins at either end and 3 dog poo bins on the various paths leading off it. Yet STILL people drop litter. Drink cans, food wrappers, plastic in all forms, full dog poo bags, empty ones, receipts, a car seat! Bike tyres, food, shoes, underwear. You name it, they leave it. And that’s just what we saw today. We took a bag with us to pick up some stuff and log it with @trashfreetrails so imagine our delight when we saw that we had been beaten to it by the council earlier in the day! Sadly we still filled a whole bag from the afternoons idiots 🙄 #EarthDay #SustainabilitySunday #LateAgain #SustainabilityEveryday

Sometime in the last decade, Goutweed, an old herbal plant, was added to flower beds in the North Garden. While it does serve as a lovely groundcover, it is choking out the upright, flowering perennials. In our commitment to minimize the use of chemicals, we will attempt to eradicate the goutweed by smothering it. First, staff mow close to the ground. Next, they step cover it with cardboard. And finally, they apply a thick layer of mulch. To see this process in action, visit the garden Tuesday - Sunday. #SustainabilitySunday #Sustainability #environment

Welcome to #SustainabilitySunday! This week I attended another inspiring webinar by @rebecca_kiwano, this time centred around 'Empowering Women Through Tourism'. I'm sure you'll get a few posts about all the wonderful projects mentioned, but for this week I wanted to draw attention to women rangers. Did you know only 11% of the global wildlife ranger workforce is female? We heard this fact from @hollybudge, founder of charity @howmanyelephants which has established World Female Ranger Week, to celebrate and support female wildlife rangers around the world. Becoming a ranger has empowered many women, turning them into breadwinners. In fact one ranger in Africa may support up to 16 family members. World Female Ranger Weeks highlights the significant gender imbalance in environmental conservation and aims to support gender equity in this field across the globe. If you want to learn more about and support the work this wonderful organisation does, please visit their site on my stories or sustainability highlight. #Women #EmpoweringWomen #WorldFemaleRangerWeek #EnvironmentalConservation

💚 #SustainabilitySunday - Hooked on yarn and stitching up a slow fashion revolution. Problem To combat the growing issue of the fast fashion industry that has devastating working conditions and environmental impacts. Solution I am on a mission to make Slow Fashion fashionable and affordable by using sustainable materials and natural fibres, for a long-term approach to reducing waste with thoughtful purchases and eco-conscious gift giving. At Sarah Lou Crafts I am able to offer competitive prices by buying bulk yarns and material wholesale and by having low overheads with no production factory, workers or retail outlets. Opportunity The majority of my customers are women who are eco-conscious and looking for quality handmade garments and timeless capsule wardrobe attire. However, all of my items are gender neutral and fit a range of sizes from children to adults. Model I sell online at SarahLouCrafts.co.uk and am looking for wholesale opportunities as stockists in bricks & mortar gift shops plus networking for increased exposure online.

These actions include; stopping, slowing, or diverting other vessels near whales, proactively warning vessels of whales nearby, removing harmful debris from the water and reporting sick or entangled animals to authorities. We love our patch of paradise in the Salish Sea, and we’re proud to be part of the community who protect it!🌊🌿 @tourismvictoriabc @hellobc @tourismvancouverisland @pacificwhalewatch @explorecanada #ExperienceTheWild #britishcolumbia #explorebc #beautifulbc #explorevictoria #explorecanada #hellobc #explorevancouverisland #BCtourism #orcaspirit

Rainwater harvesting has long been a part of Tudor Place’s history. The kitchen, which was built circa 1876, included a cistern below the floor to capture rainwater. While the historic cistern has not been in use for quite some time, two 16,000 gallon cisterns in were installed in the South Lawn in 2019. By capturing rainwater and using it in the landscape, we’re reducing our stormwater runoff and the demand for potable water. By making both visible and invisible adaptations to the landscape, Tudor Place can address modern challenges while preserving historic authenticity. #SustainabilitySunday

Welcome to #SustainabilitySunday with ASI 🌿 Read on to take your knowledge of flying foxes to new heights! 🦇 Did you know these nocturnal pollinators visit hundreds of flowers every night? Their fur carries pollen which diversifies plant life – the foundation of a healthy ecosystem. 🦇 Flying foxes, or fruit bats, are nature's seed dispersers. They promote forest regeneration and resilience, a key aspect of a sustainable environment. Sadly, these ecological heroes face a web of threats: 🦇 In the Seychelles, where we’re working with our partner Protect Paradise Seychelles, they're cruelly killed for "bat curry", disrupting the ecosystem's balance. This is easily avoidable through sustainable food alternatives. 🦇 Deforestation destroys their homes and food sources. City lights disorientate them, causing deadly power line collisions. 🦇Infants are orphaned as a result of hunting, severe weather conditions and accidents that kill their mothers, upon whom they are dependent for the first several months of their lives. Be a sustainable hero – YOU can take direct action 👇 🦇 Share this post and educate others about flying foxes' importance and the threats they face. 🦇 Choose sustainable products like FSC-certified wood, recycled paper, and responsibly sourced palm oil to reduce deforestation and protect flying fox habitats. 🦇 We work with Protect Paradise Seychelles (PPS) to help rehabilitate orphaned, injured, and displaced flying foxes. Read more via the link in our bio. Let's help secure a future for these remarkable creatures! Share, support sustainable practices, and help flying foxes continue to soar.

Looking to declutter sustainably during your spring cleaning? Check out these eco-friendly tips to make your cleanup more planet-friendly: 👕Textiles: Instead of tossing out clothing and textiles, consider donating new, gently used, or worn items at your local Village Hall collection boxes. 🪑Large Items: Do you have bulky household items like couches or mattresses? Arrange a bulk item pick-up with Groot for a greener disposal method. Residents typically get one free bulk item pick-up per week alongside their regular garbage collection. 👟Shoes: Give your old kicks new life by dropping off new, gently used, or worn shoes at Village Hall through the Reuse-a-Shoe Program. 💻Electronics: Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO) 's electronic recycling program allows you to recycle outdated gadgets and electronics. Visit the SWALCO website at https://www.swalco.org/159/Electronics-Recycling for details on drop-off locations and program requirements. 🔋Household Chemical Waste (HCW): Safely dispose of paint, motor oil, batteries, and other hazardous household products by scheduling an appointment with SWALCO. Remember, appointments are necessary for dropping off HCW items. Visit SWALCO's website at https://www.swalco.org/165/Household-Chemical-Waste-HCW to schedule and learn more about the program. These simple steps can help you clear out clutter while minimizing your environmental footprint.🌎 #sustainabilitysunday

The weather has been lovely this week and I imagine many of us have been slapping on the sun lotion, which has inspired this week's #sustainabilitysunday topic. Did you know both Hawaii and Florida have banned the sale of sun screens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate, meaning only 'reef safe' versions are available for sale? Up to 6,000 tonnes of sunscreen enters areas around coral reefs every year, which may be contributing to the decline of reef health. Two ingredients commonly found in sunscreen, oxybenzone and octinoxate, have been found to cause coral bleaching. While no sunscreen can be deemed entirely safe for our waters, by choosing 'reef safe' sunscreens, i.e. those which do not contain these ingredients, you can avoid the worst chemicals entering our oceans. If you can, also choose a sunscreen which is mineral based and non-nano, meaning the particles are too large to be ingested by coral. In more practical terms it's better to buy a waterproof, rub in lotion rather than a spray, which can land on the ground and wash into the ocean. I knew none of this only a few years ago and when I speak to holidaymakers most don't know either, so please do spread the word and help ocean health! #ReefHealth #SunLotion #SunProtection #ResponsibleTravel #ReefSafe #Coral #CoralReefs

Happy #SustainabilitySunday, Lake Forest! This week we encourage you to focus on water resources.💧 Some earth-friendly suggestions to try this week: 🌎Wash your laundry with cold water and lower the temperature of your water heater. 🌎Shorten your shower. Install an adjustable shower head that can be adjusted to low flow when full bore stream is not needed. 🌎When washing dishes, fill up the sink or smaller washtub with soapy water instead of leaving the faucet running. 🌎Consider installing a rain barrel and/or planting a rain garden to ease the strain on our sewer systems. Put that water to good use in your own garden. For more Earth-friendly challenges, visit cityoflakeforest.com/EarthMonth. The City is working to incorporate sustainable elements like bioswales, pictured here at South Park, into all infrastructure projects, including recent improvements to the Elawa Parking Lot. Bioswales are planted with deeply-rooted native plants that enhance water filtration and cleansing, improving water quality and reducing runoff. #CityofLakeForestIL #CityofLakeForestIllinois #LakeForestIL #LakeForestIllinois #NorthShoreIL #NorthShoreIllinois #LakeForestLove #EarthMonth2024 #recycle #Compost #BarttheCart

Taking big steps towards a greener future! At Tudor Place, we are reducing greenhouse gas emissions across the property, aligning with our goal to eliminate emissions altogether. One way we are doing this is by converting to electric landscaping equipment. Together, we can reduce our carbon footprint. Join us every Sunday in April to learn the various ways we practice sustainability. #SustainabilitySunday
