ToNoWaste’s Post

At GOOD GOOD sustainability isn’t just a policy—it’s our commitment to the planet. We’re advancing our environmental impact through several key initiatives: 🍃 Reducing Waste: We’re turning food scraps into resources to minimize waste. 🌲 Boosting Biodiversity: Through reforestation, we’re planting trees to restore ecosystems. We have planted 5267 trees already since Q3 2023. 📦 Sustainable Packaging: Our eco-friendly packaging solutions are designed to reduce our footprint and encourage recycling. 🤝 Empowering Communities: We foster community involvement to enhance environmental awareness. Our mission is clear: exceed standards and drive significant, positive environmental change. In my view, every action counts. Companies, whether large or small, can indeed make a significant impact.

Thanks to Stuff for the great write-up recently! We're inviting businesses in Pōneke to get on board our solution to reduce food waste to landfill and its planet-heating emissions, and support the growth of local food systems, toward a thriving, low-carbon future for our city. Local food growing - in māra kai, schools, community gardens, urban farms, backyards, berms and more - generates a wide range of local benefits: from mental health and wellbeing, to boosting local food growing skills and knowledge, supporting community cohesion, biodiversity, reducing carbon emissions from our food supply chain, and plenty more. There are already dozens of community gardens and urban farms in Pōneke. If this became hundreds, imagine how the positive impacts would add up! But we need a local supply of compost to set up and fuel them. This is why we are strong advocates for localised composting - to ensure some of our city's food scraps are going into producing these local benefits, rather than all being trucked away to large facilities. https://lnkd.in/gxcdbA2w

Are you ready to get your Christmas tree down 🎄 but you’re not sure what to do with it? We’ve got some top tips on what to do with your tree this January and none of it involves awkward trips to the local tip 💪. 🟢Most councils offer roadside pick-up or drop-off locations for Christmas trees. They'll usually chip the trees into mulch, which can be used in parks or gardens. 🟢Find a community tree recycling event. Many organisations host tree recycling events in early January. You can usually find information about local events on your local social media pages. 🟢Turn your tree into compost yourself. It will need chopping down and the needles can take time to breakdown, but you can successfully compost your own tree year on year. #zerowaste #netzero #green #sustainability

Legislation Alert: Water Bottle Refill Fountains at Fire Hydrants - New legislation proposes installing water bottle refilling fountains at fire hydrants across NYC, initially five in each borough. The focus is on sustainability, reducing single-use plastic, and promoting reusable water bottles with NYC's top-quality tap water. The initiative emphasizes human rights, emergency preparedness, and community engagement, envisioning the fountains as communal hubs. Additionally, it supports public health goals by discouraging sugary drink consumption, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable city. READ MORE: https://buff.ly/3SXLIl7

Why is it important? Dan went to get lunch the other day to find a compost bin at Fish Bowl. Here's why it's great for hospitality places to compost:   ✅ Eco-Friendly Practices: Restaurants like Fish Bowl reduce their environmental impact by composting. ✅ Educational Value: Customers learn about waste reduction and environmental stewardship by seeing composting in action. ✅ Community Engagement: Composting fosters community involvement in environmental initiatives. ✅ Local Agriculture Support: Nutrient-rich compost can benefit local farmers, closing the food-waste loop. ✅ Inspiration for Change: Seeing restaurants composting may inspire customers to do the same at home.   Composting in hospitality venues like Fish Bowl not only helps the environment directly but also encourages broader community action.
