🚽🎨 Participate in Our #PaintedToilets2023 Event and Make a Difference on World Toilet Day! 🌍💼 At Waterhouse Bath & Kitchen Studio, we believe in making a meaningful impact, and today, we're excited to share something truly special. It's our 3rd annual World Toilet Day celebration! Did you know that 3.5 billion people around the world still lack access to safe toilet facilities? It's a problem that calls for action, and we're determined to do our part. We've collaborated with nine local artists who have generously contributed their time, creativity, and skill to transform toilets generously donated by Mansfield Plumbing Products into one-of-a-kind masterpieces. 🖌️🎨 These aren't just toilets; they're works of art with a purpose. Here's how you can be a part of this transformative initiative. For just $1 per vote, you can join us in supporting a great cause. Vote in person at our showroom or conveniently through Venmo @Waterhousebks. Enter the dollar amount for the number of votes you want to make and include a description of the painted toilet in the "What's It For." Be sure to make your comment public so everyone can see your vote. Every vote counts, and every dollar makes a difference! What's even more inspiring is that all the proceeds from this event will go to support Water.org, an organization that has empowered over 58 million people by providing them with access to safe water and sanitation through affordable financing. 💧🌍 In a professional world that often keeps us busy, it's moments like these that remind us of our ability to create meaningful change. Together, we can flush out the problem of inadequate sanitation, one vote at a time. Let's make a positive impact on this World Toilet Day! #paintedtoilets2023 #worldtoiletday #supportacause #socialimpact #waterforall #waterhousebks

There's no better way to celebrate a successful ProcureCon event than to plant some trees, 500 trees to be exact! At ProcureCon, we believe in the power of unity and collective action to protect our planet. That's why we partnered with One Tree Planted, a nonprofit dedicated to global reforestation, to plant trees. They raise awareness about the importance of trees, offer a sustainability solution everyone can participate in (and feel good about), and motivate younger generations to do something positive for the environment. By registering for ProcureCon Indirect West, we automatically donated $1 to One Tree Planted on your behalf. Together, we can create a greener, healthier planet for ourselves and future generations. Here's to planting more trees for years to come! Want to get in on the action? Stay tuned for ways to participate in these efforts for our 2025 event! #ProcureCon #PIW #OneTreePlanted #biodiversity #reforestation #sustainability

Better offers you one of the few impact gifts you can hand out at events. In Belgium, nearly 77,000 events take place each year. And it's not without consequences for the environment. According to ADEME, an average event with 5,000 attendees would generate 2.5 tons of waste, equivalent to the amount of waste produced by 5 residents annually in Belgium. Much of this waste comes from the goodies we typically receive at the end of events, which often end up in the trash. ❓ How can we change the deeply rooted practices in the event industry without disappointing our guests? With Better, we offer the opportunity to transform your goodies into gift donations that will be distributed to the non-profits that each guest chooses thanks to our different videos. It allows each guest to feel involved in their choice and to have an impact on society. 🌱 Looking to organize more sustainable events?

There are thousands of fantastic charities that exist in the world today for so many great causes. I truly believe that our worlds health is most important, therefore we particularly focus on world pollution charities. The butterfly effect is a real phenomena. These two charities are wonderful, engaging in huge detoxification of our beaches and cities with large cleaning teams, connecting house holds in other parts of the world to waste management, policy intervention and much more. CleanHub has cleaned more than 6 million KGs of waste so far. Unimaginable. Surfers Against Sewage are closely tied to the UN Decade for Ocean Science, which plan on mobilising 1 million volunteers to clean over 10 million miles of UK landscape over the next 10 years.

Check out Reuse Network's latest press release detailing the shocking figures around #costoflivingcrisis that is continuing into 2024. "The cost-of-living crisis has left many households struggling to make ends meet, leading to a surge in demand for affordable goods provided by charities; all whilst declining retail sales and people holding on to items for longer mean that donations to reuse charities have reduced substantially. " #costofliving #reusenetwork #poverty #austerity #socialimpactreport
