To all our readers, 2017 may have been a year of ups and downs, lets not kid ourselves it’s not dislike any other year however with Brexit and the Trump administration over the past 2 years, it has felt never ending at times with the media circus in tow, and a play on words for the uncertainty of the future we are bombarded with daily…
We make our future and going forward for 2018 learn to appreciate living in the ‘Present’. We are all born into different fates but it is what we make of it that makes us and how we use our experiences to shape and enjoy the important things in life, give back to those that are less fortunate.
In 2018 we as a company wish to increase our awareness towards looking after the planet earth.
- We already do our bit by recyling, continued effort to use less paper.
- Switch to glass bottles and reduce plastic waste.
- Be more energy efficient conscious, we must try to switch our computers off at the end of the day rather than leaving it on sleep mode, we are all guilty of that.
- Car sharing would be great, not always practical. If you could buddy up with a colleague just imagine how much petrol money it could save you?
- Even better to start walking to work if its within a reasonable walking distance.
- Raise money towards Cool Earth, a charity that works strategically protecting forests.
The point is we could all do a little more after all we have a responsibility and how we leave the next generation has a huge impact on the quality of the kind of future mankind can expect. It doesn’t just effect us in the UK but has a global effect on every country and habitat in the world, Leonardo Dicaprio we salute you and your fight to secure a sustainable future for our planet.
