Hands holding nature
 
Here at Allwag, sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do. Sustainability isn’t just an eco-friendly buzzword; it is the key to a better future. To maintain a better quality of life and a diverse, healthy planet, it must be embraced and acted upon. 
 

World Environment Day

 
On June 5th, World Environment Day is celebrated. This impactful day is to call action on a global scale so we celebrate, protect and restore our planet. 
 
Since 1974, World Environment Day has been putting a global spotlight on urgent environmental challenges. The message of this year’s campaign is ‘Only one Earth’ and aims to promote awareness of the importance of our planet and the need to protect it.

Raising awareness of the environment is important, but what is your business doing about these challenges? This World Environment Day there are plenty of ways you and your colleagues can get involved. 
 

Plant Trees

 

Trees are one of the biggest and oldest plants on earth; they are essential for saving and protecting nature. 

We understand how essential these historic giants are for our ecosystem and the part they play in protecting the planet. As such, we subscribe to Ecologi - an environmental organisation with the goal of creating a positive impact on the environment and climate. To create this positive impact, our monthly subscription goes towards:

  • Carbon reduction projects
  • Tree planting

Through Ecologi, Allwag has planted 123 trees in 10 months. Join us and help build a better, sustainable future.

 

Cut Down on Private Transport 

 

With emissions rising every year, your personal carbon footprint can be reviewed. The BBC revealed one of the biggest contributors to a personal carbon footprint is private transport; the average petrol car releases 180g of CO2 every kilometre.

Encourage employees to carpool, walk/cycle or commute on public transport to work. Implementing this, will mean less cars on the road, and a reduced carbon footprint. 

 

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle 

 

Minimise the negative impact of using single-use plastics and the devastating impact it has on our planet. Act now by reusing and recycling. 

Switch from single-use plastics to reusable products e.g., drinkware and stationery. We have a wide range of reusable items made from sustainable materials to help close the loop.

 
 

Hold a Competition

 
 

A great way to encourage staff to take part in World Environment Day is to hold a competition. 

Offer eco-friendly challenges to your team leading up to the event. Team members can be challenged to walk to work, use the least amount of paper or use the least amount of energy!

Having an innovative yet sustainable prize will encourage team members to take part. Check out our Eco Gift Range for prize ideas!

Studies show that house plants have a positive impact on wellbeing because they reduce stress and purify air.

A desktop garden is an interesting initiative for employee wellbeing and promoting sustainability. House plants have many benefits, but the sustainable benefits of reducing carbon dioxide levels and keeping air pressures low is something to shout about! 

Buy your employees a desktop garden to promote these positive benefits.
