We depend on the natural environment for our survival and well-being, so we need to move towards a way of life that does not use more than the Earth can provide.
My Environmental management system:-
My Environmental management system:-
- Recycling, reusing, avoid (plastic bags), reduce-use less and only dispose of if absolutely necessary.
- Use a bagless vacuum cleaner and put the waste into the compost bin and or worm farms.
- After hair cuts, place hair waste into compost bin or worm farms located on site.
- Use the solar power at the centre and Use energy saving light bulbs.
- Use minimal ingredients – natural, raw and vegan-where ever possible.
- Try to go completely paper-free by using e-gift vouchers.
- Have filtered water for clients, instead of bottled water.
- Have real potted plants in the room. This will create oxygen and help to balance out the carbon dioxide emissions, and also make the room look more attractive to the eye.
- Organise an ‘Eco-Chic’ day or event, once every quarter – where clients and their friends/family bring in their unwanted/unused clothing and accessories and swap them with others. Free shopping! And helping to reduce and reuse.
- Switch off and unplug items and power points when not in use.
- Wash towels, capes and other items, once there is a full load. Use cold water. Hang dry washing
- Plant some more trees around the community and perhaps down at the river/reserve next to us.
- Recycling all aluminum foil, tubes and cans.
