| Biodiversity
Biodiversity is a
key factor in the overall approach to climate change to which we can all play an integral
part in redressing in both commercial and domestic activities.
Its detrimental
decline over the last three decades poses a greater risk to the environment than some of
the aspects of climate change and increased carbon emissions. Biodiversity maintains our
healthy and stable environment through the interactions between all species and habitats
providing us with vital natural key elements such as clean air and water whist supplying
the raw materials for technology and business opportunities.
Through the
C.F.O.P & Landscape - UK and pro-activeness we can all interact to regenerate
biodiversity here in the UK and create a healthier environment in our place of
work and around the home.
Biodiversity
in Business; It doesn’t have to cost the earth!
Our Green Leaf - Points & Rewards is
designed to encourage companies to be more carbon conscious in product marketing whilst
rewarding clients for their business, a mature English Oak makes for the perfect corporate
gift when planted at the clients headquarters!
For those who are
accredited with ISO or becoming accredited you may already be including the aspects of
biodiversity into management plans and policies.
For those
companies managing landholdings or grounds we endorse utilising Green Leaf to redress the
balance in local biodiversity in a way which is sensitive to the immediate surroundings by
incorporating small areas of priority habitats this may include planting native trees and
wild flowers into the immediate landscape or installing raised planters, hanging baskets
and where there is no apparent areas available working with those in the local
communities.
Introduce a tree
planting policy and directly participate into the C.F.O.P & Landscape - UK project
tailoring it to turnover, booked orders, corporate tree dedications to clients etc.
Incorporate Living
Green Roofs into smoking shelters, sheds or outbuildings.
Or simply install
bird boxes / feeders to attract the local wildlife habitat into your immediate area.
Provide funds or
income support to localised specific biodiversity projects that involves the communities
and local schools.
Biodiversity
around the Home; It doesn’t have to cost the earth!
Dedicate an area
of ground that will reintroduce the natural local wildlife with an array of landscape
materials and plants that enhances your immediate surroundings.
Incorporate Living
Green Roofs into extensions, garden sheds and summer houses.
Install composting
bins and water buts to recycle all the natural elements that are generally discarded.
For those of you
burning wood fuel, take a look at our wood fuel starter kits and adopt the Grow and Burn
process that removes carbon from the atmosphere.
Our
Landscape Industries A to Z Portal may help in your search to find the way, means and
solutions to infuse biodiversity into your business portfolio or lifestyle.
