Exciting things are happening within our team! 🎉 Introducing our Circular Apartment Specialist team: Andrew Scott and Annaliese Lawry - here to spearhead resource recovery efforts in high-density living spaces and cultivate resident engagement for lasting positive waste behaviors. The team is building on Reground's over seven years of deep experience working with apartment buildings. We are also working on a very exciting solution that we think will change the system overall and help people in these communities on the ground! At Reground, we recognise that apartment residents are often overlooked in conversations about waste and sustainability. That's why we're committed to changing the narrative and ensuring everyone has a say in fostering positive waste behaviour. #ApartmentWaste #Sustainability #CircularSystems

In praise of small changes. Positivity in sustainability is key, as highlighted by Emma Osterbery in her recent post. In Utrecht, a remarkable initiative began at the humble bus stop. The Utrecht Green Roof bus stop project, a collaboration between the Utrecht council and RBL Outdoor transformed over 316 bus shelters into green havens by simply adding green roofs. These green roofs act as natural filters, improving air quality, managing stormwater effectively (the vegetation acting like a sponge during storms), and mitigating the urban heat island effect. They contribute to a healthier environment for residents and commuters, while enhancing the aesthetics of the city. Despite challenges like weight capacity concerns, solved by selection of lighter plants, and maintenance needs, the project's success showcases how small interventions can lead to significant environmental benefits. Do you have examples of how small changes have disproportionate benefits? #Sustainability #GreenInitiative #EnvironmentalBenefits #UtrechtGreenRoofProject #PositivityInSustainability

Cleaner Streets, Happier Hearts: Why a Litter-Free Landscape Benefits Everyone Beyond the obvious aesthetics, cleaner streets hold a wealth of benefits that impact our health, economy, and environment. For Residents: Healthier Communities: Litter harbors germs and attracts pests, posing health risks, especially for young children and vulnerable populations. Cleaner streets translate to a safer environment for everyone. Enhanced Quality of Life: Clean streets foster a sense of community pride, encouraging residents to spend more time outdoors and engage with their surroundings. Boosted Property Values: Studies show a direct correlation between clean streets and increased property values. Cleaner neighborhoods attract residents and businesses, leading to a more vibrant and desirable community. For City Leaders: Reduced Costs: Cleaning up litter is expensive, diverting resources from vital services like education and infrastructure. COA's Public Space Recycling Partnership saves taxpayer dollars and frees up funds for community betterment. Sustainable Future: Providing convenient recycling infrastructure encourages residents to participate, creating a more sustainable city. The Power of Recycling: Recycling bins aren't just convenient receptacles; they're symbols of environmental responsibility. By providing easily accessible recycling options, cities encourage residents to keep streets cleaner and minimize landfill overflow. Investing in Cleanliness: A Shared Responsibility Clean streets are not a luxury; they're a necessity. By recognizing the multifaceted benefits for residents and city leaders alike, we can build a collaborative effort towards a litter-free landscape. This means individual responsibility like properly disposing of waste and actively participating in recycling programs. Ultimately, cleaner streets are a reflection of our collective commitment to creating a healthy, vibrant, and sustainable future for all. Let's embrace the responsibility, invest in solutions, and work together to ensure our streets shine not just with sunlight, but with the pride of a community that cares.

Water reuse technology is fundamentally reshaping the future of buildings in San Francisco. ⤵️ Residential buildings are saving millions of gallons of water with two new Greywater reuse systems by Epic Cleantec. The Chorus luxury apartment and The Landing multifamily apartment buildings join San Francisco's water reuse initiatives—reinforcing its status as a sustainability leader. These systems align with the city's commitment to: - Combat drought - Conserve water 💬 “Increasing and maximising the use of recycled water in buildings and facilities demonstrates San Francisco’s global leadership and stewardship to use water efficiently.” - Paula Kehoe of the SF Public Utilities Commission Explore more from SmartCitiesWorld article, here: https://loom.ly/umaEzNQ 📖 #UrbanDevelopment #WaterConservation #SmartCities

Imagine if our streets were designed to meet the needs of pedestrians, bikes, cars and public transport all at once. If our houses and buildings cost next to nothing to heat, remained cool in summer and produced and stored the renewable energy we needed for the community. Imagine if our waste was put to use time and time again and deemed a valuable resource, and water considered so precious that we savour every drop. Imagine if things turned out OK. 💡 Melbourne might be one of the world’s most ‘liveable’ cities, but this liveability conceals far-reaching social issues and environmental overshoots. That's why this year, Regen Melbourne is proud to be launching Regen Streets: an initiative to help organise and catalyse a wave of regenerative streets across Greater Melbourne – in service to both people and planet. Regen Streets Lead Convenor, Nina Sharpe, explains how Regen Streets came to be – and what it hopes to achieve ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gqxB_BEj

Public space recycling is a win-win for cities, the environment, and residents. It conserves resources, reduces landfill waste, and fosters a culture of sustainability. By making recycling accessible and convenient, cities can take a big step towards a greener future. #plasticrecycling #municipality #townplanning #townplanner #publicworks #governmentagencies #townhall #towns #ourplanet  #sustainabilitygoals #sustainablefuture #usmayors, #recyclingsolutions #recyclingmatters #greenearth #landfill #landfillgas #landfills #mayors #mayor #citymanager #polution #recycleresponsibly #recycling #recycled #citymanager #cityplanning #municipal #municipalities #wasterecycling #waste #publicspaces #publicspace #savetheplanet #plasticpollution #plasticrecycling #municipality #townplanning #townplanner #publicworks #governmentagencies #townhall #towns #ourplanet #partnerships #publicprivatepartnerships #oceanplastic #ocean #publicprivatepartnership #sustainablecities #sustainability #sustainable #sustainabilitymatters #sustainableliving #greenearth
