…it’s about making common sense, common practice. It’s about smart development. It’s about what we can achieve when we are together, focused, strategic.
There’s an old saying that goes “The stone age didn’t end because they ran out of stones…,” the stone age ended because they found a better way to exist, a better way to live.
HOW WILL ECOLIVING LONDON SERVE YOU?
Through the effective engagement of the community, EcoLiving London will:
Minimize our collective environmental footprint
- Help all residents take the “green” initiative and find what they need to make changes in their home and work places
- Help local environmental not-for-profits improve their programs and gain valuable public support through improved awareness, volunteer recruitment and increased donor support
- Help the City of London to increase public participation in existing services - recycling, waste diversion, pesticide compliance, therefore improving the manageability of pick-up, processing, and landfill operation, and encouraging further development - i.e. blue bin expansion, green bin implementation etc.
Brighten our ‘green’ image
- Improve the City’s local and national reputation (a proactive, cutting edge community…).
- Attract top talent and industry - as the city will better reflect the values of the people it is trying to draw in areas of business, science, research, medicine, and academia.
Stimulate our local economy
- Help over 160 “green” organizations find their customer, strengthen their business and receive the recognition they deserve in leading the way to sustainability
- Help the business community connect with sustainability experts and implement eco-efficient business practices - operationally, administratively, and culturally.
Make London a more “livable” city were all residents enjoy an enhanced quality of life.
