Taking small, achievable steps towards sustainability
Sustainability can seem like an overwhelming topic at times. That’s why we came up with the idea of taking just 3 simple facts or tips to help us all move along the road to sustainability, one step at a time.
Each video in Green Street’s ‘Take 3’ video series has three quick facts or practical ideas about a specific aspect of sustainability. The videos are bite-sized, easily digestible reels of no more than 30 seconds. Designed to help you have a go at being sustainable at home or work, the videos highlight key issues to think about and provide simple, achievable guidance.
To take the guidance further, see the links below each video or explore Green Street Sustainability Resources such as Green Tips, Green Street Badges, and Sustainability Quizzes.
