Eorte Brand

As the year draws to a close, I find myself deeply reflecting on the transformative journey of the past 12 months. I'm grateful for the opportunities and experiences that have shaped this remarkable year, and my appreciation extends to the unwavering support of family, friends, mentors, and colleagues who played a pivotal role in our shared successes. This year has been marked by growth, continuous learning, and meaningful connections, and I am genuinely thankful for every moment. One standout milestone of 2023 was the establishment of Eorte, my new venture dedicated to driving positive change through sustainable initiatives. At Eorte, we empower hotels to convert linen waste into uniforms, creating a closed-loop business model that diverts 30-40% of textile waste from landfills. The staggering scale of hotel textile waste, amounting to 10 million tons annually worldwide, has raised environmental alarms. Astonishingly, up to 80% of discarded linens still have potential use, highlighting a pressing need for sustainable practices in the hospitality sector. This excess waste not only burdens the environment but also carries financial implications and reputation risks for hotels and the hospitality industry. Looking ahead to 2024, Eorte is poised to elevate its sustainable efforts even further. We have ambitious plans to implement cutting-edge eco-friendly technologies, collaborate with like-minded organizations, and raise awareness about environmental conservation. As I reflect on the accomplishments of the past year, I am energized and motivated to continue making a positive impact in the coming year and beyond. Together, we are shaping a future that prioritizes both business success and environmental stewardship. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Happy New Year everyone! #Sustainability #NewYearReflections #PositiveImpact #recycling #earthcare #greenentrepreneurship #future

Why it’s important to learn about climate change? Yes, I know that you hear about climate changes everyday, everywhere. From the moment you turn on your TV, to social medias that’s on your phone, to your friends and neighbors are talking about it, or complaining about it. But do you really know what “climate change” is? Climate change primarily refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Although some shifts in climate are natural, human activities—such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation—are significant drivers of climate change. Energy, industry, transportation, landfills, and agriculture all contribute to greenhouse gas emissions (including carbon dioxide and methane) that trap the sun’s heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming—which threatens human, economic, and environmental well-being. It is vital for all of us to learn and understand about climate change to stay informed on what it is, what the ramifications are, and how we can mitigate it—such as reducing the reliance on fossil fuels like coal and oil, slowing deforestation, and adopting sustainable agricultural practices. According to recent studies, the consequences of exceeding a global average temperature increase of two degrees could have a devastating impact: 61 million more humans would be exposed to severe drought, up to 270 million more people would experience water shortages, the prevalence of deadly heat waves and extreme weather events would substantially increase, and almost 100% of coral reefs would die. The sharp increase in climate and weather-related natural disasters such as wildfires, droughts, and hurricanes have also caused disastrous losses of habitat and lives of animals. The reality is that if not mediated, climate change has the potential to hurt natural ecosystems and infrastructure, increase the frequency of natural disasters, and pose significant health risks through food shortages and increased temperatures and pollution. We, as a society of higher intelligence must work together to find solutions to combat our climate problems before it’s too late. By educating ourselves and understanding that our actions have a huge impact on our planet, I believe that we can all make a big differences for planet Earth. #sustainability #climateaction #earth #protectourplanet #recyclingindustry #betterworld
