As a newly volunteered Sustainability ambassador, I was asked to share a sustainability tip here as part of the “Sustainability Wednesday” rhythm. Appreciate this is a day late (sorry Ajita), but here goes:

Sustainability means different things to different people, and while the mass consensus focusses on the “environmental” aspects (which is arguably the most important), I feel something that gets understated here is “self sustainability” – for a happier, healthier, long term self sustenance.

Most of us will agree to feeling overwhelmed on a more regular basis recently, especially as we bounce back from the Covid-19 slowdown and play catchup with different aspects of our lives. As part of managing this overwhelm, I began following the group “Action for Happiness” since Jan-22, to slow down and appreciate the smaller things in life on a regular basis, and while some of the tips here may sound trivial – I have seen a significant impact on my ability of slow down and help refocus – which I would recommend as many of you as possible to give it a try (even in your own ways if you done particularly feel the need to join the movement).

Their monthly activity calendar is something I look forward to using diligently, and hope this gives some inspiration
to you all too!

Hello everyone!

Let me give you some good news to start the week! After months of work, I’m happy to announce that our seventh B2B trading site which is Belgium (Dutch language) is now live and ready to take orders. (in fact, there have been orders placed already) You can find the site on this link: https://trade.colart.com/nl-be/ Special thanks to Jean-Bernard, Delphine, and Guenael for the work they put into testing and translations and my wonderful project team Arthur, Nicky, Rachael, and Stuart for the dedication and the hard work.
