Ecotainment

The entertainment industry is beginning to look into improving it's eco-friendliness.

To this end, a new website has been set-up to bring roadies, techs and everyone else involved together.

Find the site in it's early stages at ecotainment.co.uk

Streetcar

While I'm on a posting frenzy, I'm also going to add that we've got rid of the car.

Instead we've joined Streetcar

In the last few months I think we've hired a car for about 4 hours. Everything else has been in walking distance, or public transport. It's working pretty well at the moment

Green Procurement Code

For those of you inside the M25 and interested in getting your company to improve it's environmental impact, it may be worth having a gander at the Mayors Green Procurement Code (link)

And guess which company assists with it? I mentioned them several posts (and many months ago) - it may be starting to come together.

The pace of progress

Way back when, I mentioned that I was looking into ways to improve the green footprint of my employers and figured that it was time for a (long-overdue) update.

Currently there is one bin for newspapers and magazines, all light bulbs (and we use many types) are collected, the Greencare UK water dispenser that has done so well is going to replace the other coolers that are around the building. So, not a great start.

But, we finally have an Environmental Committee and it's informal so there should be minimal beauracacy as we've all chosen to join to see what we can do.

I'll keep you all informed ...
