    Sustainability Wednesday
     
    This week we’re going to address a popular sustainability myth – that it’s too expensive.
     
    Changing how we do business, make products, or manage our lifestyles certainly has a financial cost. We can add our invoice totals together, then add the time spent to find those solutions, and ‘boom’ there we have the proof. But, consider the cost of not doing this work and the cost is much greater.
     
    Here are some frequently-quoted myths about sustainability. It’s a light read and perfect for a sunny Wednesday afternoon: 10 popular sustainability myths
     
    I also loved this more in-depth article on the topic. It’s written by Gabriel Tan, who helps corporations find scalable and affordable sustainability solutions. It dives a bit deeper into what sustainability means to company profits: How sustainability can actually improve profitability
    Leadership in sustainability sends a strong signal to the market, which attracts like-minded partners and opens new doors and opportunities.

    Thanks to Colart Charity donation programme, Colart Italy had the opportunity to support a local organization that, since the begining of the Ukraine war, is providing art therapy classes for children of families who were forced to leave home. Our materials were sent to Mariupol and Mykolaiv regions. Thank you to @OliviaGrimes and @DeborahRouillard for their support 🙂 !

    Colart Americas Wellness Team hosted our Wellbeing  Summer Event on August 9th in our Piscataway Site Parking Lot. We had food trucks and for desert the Carnivale Donut Bar, which was extremely well received by our Team.

    The weather was on the warm side at over 100 (F) or 38 (C).

    We also had music and games to support the event.

    I want to give a special thank you to April, Lydia and Elba for all their efforts to make such a nice event. Also, a thank you to our very own DJ – Johnny Concepcion who is part of our North America IT Team.

    This week and next week people from the Hub are using their community day to support Hospital Rooms, a Colart charity partner, with their take over of the Hauser & Wirth gallery during August and September. We are helping Hospital Rooms to create two mega murals: one will be eighty square metres in size in preparation for their fundraising event.

    Whilst there will be more photos to follow I thought I’d share this beautiful shot of three people helping out today: Stavroula from HR, Rebecca from Consumer Digital and Matilda from Regulatory.   

    I love this photo as it shows not only how you can feel good using your Community Day to support a community initiative but also build great links with your colleagues outside of the workplace. 

    Make sure you use your day! 🙂

      What a wonderful day! Thank you to all for this amazing experience. We had the most incredible time while we were getting to know each other better! It felt so rewarding to know that I am helping to make a small difference in the community. Thank you Hospital Rooms for taking care of us and to my wonderful colleagues for all the support as well as funny moments! I wouldn’t be me today celebrating this without the positivity you gave me yesterday 🙂…

Creating Impact Tip
Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .

“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water.  At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.

"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
