Third Sector on Climate Change
1st September 2010
A brand new website has been launched that’s designed to help Third Sector organisations like yours save money and work smarter towards a more sustainable business ethos. Read on for more info and for the website address…
There are literally thousands of volunteers in our region working for hundreds of charity and voluntary organisations. This new website and the information, guides and equipment therein have been developed to help these organisations and their staff to work smarter to save money and reduce their CO2 emissions. A series of engaging, accessible and honest guides to smarter energy management, recycling, transport and purchasing are available for all those in the Third Sector looking to take control of their environmental impact and make a positive change.
