Sustainability has become a buzzword of late, with lots of people jumping on the bandwagon.  But it’s something we at BetweenGlassBlinds have taken seriously. Putting together our Environmental and Sustainability policy showed us a number little changes that even small to medium businesses like ourselves can do to make a difference.  As a famous supermarket states, every little helps.

One of the first things we noticed was just how many magazines we were getting, and multiple copies all coming to a single office!  So this month’s Little Changes Add Up (#littlechangesaddup) is to contact all the publications and remove all but one from the mailing list, cutting down both the paper and plastic usage, as well as the carbon cost involved with shipping. Additionally, we took a realistic look at which other magazines we can view online and will stop those paper deliveries completely.  We want to stay informed, and reduce waste, so we think it’s a step in the right direction.

For more information about the changes we’ve made, please take a look at our Environmental and Sustainability policy.
