Download PDFon Earth Overshoot Day and Veganism
On Wednesday 14th August at Head Office, we had a Sustainability Coffee Morning, presented by Ajita Chamberlin and Emily Steer.
During that time, we discussed the #movethedate movement, and what we can do as individuals and as a business. We talked about circular economies. Fast-fashion, food waste, the difference between organic and non-organic products and compared products.
As food is the central topic of the latest issue of Elephant magazine, Emily Steer talked about the evolution of food in art, the rise of veganism, and shared some impressive numbers.
We then shared some vegan food that colleagues brought with them, including guacamole, hummus, a chocolate torte, apple compote, biscuits and fruits!

What a fabulous event, the food share sounds like a wonderful idea. At Kidderminster we are endeavouring to reduce our commuting mileage and have so far walked, cycled or car shared almost 2,000 miles (approx. 3%) this year by consciously choosing to leave the car at home or in some cases car sharing to reduce single occupancy journeys to work. On its own 2,000 miles doesn’t sound a lot but collectively we can make a difference.
