As the Africa Climate Summit takes center stage in Nairobi, Kenya, with its theme of "Driving Green Growth & Climate Finance Solutions for Africa and the World," it's time for us, the passionate travelers, to play our part in this global green movement. Being an eco-traveler is about embarking on exciting journeys while leaving a positive mark on the planet. As a traveler, we can also do our part to minimize our carbon footprint and waste by simply following a few simple practices. Here’s some ‘low-hanging fruit’ when it comes to being an eco-traveler. ·       Travel with a reusable water bottle ·       Bring a packable carry bag so you don’t use plastic bags ·       Use a reusable coffee cup instead of getting takeaway coffees ·       Travel with a metal spork instead of using plastic ·       Say no to single-use plastics like straws  🌱🌞🌏 #GreenTravelAdventures #AfricaClimateSummit23 #ASC2023 #climatechangesolutions #Climateaction

Choosing ethical clearance and Waste to Wonder Worldwide for managing redundant office furniture offers several benefits over traditional disposal methods like landfilling or simple sell-off. Five simple advantages are as follows: #Environmentalsustainability: Ethical clearance services prioritise repurposing and redistributing items to extend their lifecycle, significantly reducing waste and environmental impact. Unlike landfilling, which contributes to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, ethical clearance helps conserve natural resources and energy by diverting items from waste streams. #socialimpact: We specifically target the redistribution of items to schools, charities, and communities in need, both locally and globally. This approach not only redistributes goods but does so with a purpose, enhancing educational opportunities and quality of life for underserved populations. The process turns potential waste into valuable resources for those who need them most. #Corporatesocialresponsibility (CSR): Engaging in ethical clearance aligns companies with CSR goals by demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility. This can improve your company's image, strengthen your brand, and foster goodwill among consumers, investors, and the community. It's a tangible way for you to contribute positively to society and the environment. #CostSavings: While selling off redundant items may seem financially beneficial, ethical clearance could potentially offer cost savings by avoiding landfill fees and other costs associated with the disposal of items and storge. Additionally, participating in programs like those offered by Waste to Wonder Worldwide may provide opportunities to spread the cost of your Ethical Clearance across sustainability channels. Getting ahead of #EnvironmentalRegulationsandPolicies: The UAE has established a comprehensive set of legislations to ensure a sustainable environment. These regulations cover various aspects, including waste management, pollution control, and efficient use of natural resources. Your operations in the UAE can proactively align with these evolving legal frameworks by engaging with ethical clearance services like ours. Demonstrating commitment to environmental responsibility, positions you as a leader within the UAE’s business community and aligns with national strategies like the UAE Centennial 2071 plan and the Green Agenda 2030.

Egypt Office achieves Zero Hero Status for the Second Consecutive Year This recognition reflects our commitment to sustainability and marks a significant milestone in our ongoing journey towards environmental responsibility. This year, our objective is to deepen our sustainability efforts. We are more dedicated than ever to encouraging our colleagues to embrace zero waste and circularity goals. Our focus is on fostering a circular economy and one single use that minimizes greenhouse gas emissions and promotes the reuse and recycling of resources. We celebrate Earth Day this year, as we organized a special initiative that highlighted our commitment to zero waste. We donated clothes and other items, demonstrating the power of reusing and recycling. This event was not just about giving; it was also about educating and inspiring each other to find innovative ways to minimize waste and repurpose items that are no longer needed. By encouraging zero waste practices and supporting circular economy principles, we are taking significant steps towards reducing our environmental footprint. Every small action, from recycling to repurposing, contributes to a larger impact, and together, we are making a difference! Our collective efforts and dedication are driving us towards a greener and more sustainable future. Thank you to all our colleagues for their unwavering support and enthusiasm, and thanks to our partner #Outgreens Egypt and our #environmentandsustainableclub volunteers. Together, we are leading the way in sustainability and making a positive impact on our environment. Let's continue to strive for zero waste and embrace the principles of a circular economy. #CapgeminiEgypt #Getthefutureyouwant #ZeroHeroagain

Nigeria takes a lead on building earthquake-proof homes from plastic bottles. Yet another take on #sustainability 🌿 and #futureproofing 🎯 https://lnkd.in/d8yc8Kd7

It's Day 4 at the #INC4 in #canada . The Africa Regional Consultation group is debunking and deliberating on their stands in the whole plastic pollution saga. From requesting developed countries to present a better proposal on plastic pollution that will address the issue in the continent, to proposing several National Adoption/Adaption Plan on plastic pollution. With the invitation of #Switzerland, #UK and #Norway by the consultation to present their statement in order for Africa to support it, a lot was brought to clarity by the delegates from the abovementioned countries. Let's see what this day of negotiation holds. #PlasticFreeCommunities #plasticfree #plasticpollution #ClimateAction

This is going to be an important breakthrough conference! First time the Zero Waste Cities conference will take place on the African Continent. Our resentative Piotr Barczak is attending and will speak about axstrategu to manage residual waste. African Countries have all what’s needed to pursue a comprehensive #ZeroWaste strategy where prevention, reuse and recycling can be dominant priorities, driven by by communities and entrepreneurs, as well as ambitious local and national authotrities. There is no place for waste incineration in this strategy.

[Green hospital starts with carbon reduction]    Hong Kong’s waste charging will be implemented on April 1 to encourage all walks of life to change their garbage-generating behaviours, thereby enhancing waste reduction. Among different types of wastes, plastic litter is particularly related to global warming. The process of refining, manufacturing, and disposing of plastic will produce greenhouse gases and affect climate change.    In fact, MSF has always been concerned about the health impacts of climate change, so we strive to reduce carbon footprint to minimise the impact to the nature. For example, we installed solar panels on the roof of Al Mowasah Hospital in Amman, Jordan, to achieve the concept of energy efficiency. Also, the hospital waste is no longer dumped randomly, but is sorted into different categories. 54% of non-medical waste is now recycled and reused, hoping to reduce waste at the source.    Whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere, if you want to contribute to protecting the environment, what you need is practical determination and time to adapt and adjust! Al Mowasa Hospital's "Go Green" project took 1.5 year to achieve satisfactory results, and now it became a green role model in the eyes of the Jordanian authorities. MSF has committed to reducing global CO2 emissions by at least half of 2019 emissions by 2030. We will continue to work hard and implement more green measures.    #CarbonEmissions #ClimateChange #EnergyEfficiency #WasteLevy #GreenHospital #MSF #fieldnews 

#Nairobi ranked 11th in a list of cities with the lowest levels of #airpollution in Africa in 2023 by the World Health Organization, but there is still work to be done to reduce pollution. That's why the Clean Air Catalyst is working with the Nairobi City Government to identify possible solutions to further improve their #airquality.
