After our last Climate Cafe meeting, and lots of conversation about spreading messages as wide as possible, I was interested to see an interview with the Head of Sustainability at Wimbledon, who says -
"Our aim is to have and advocate for a positive environmental impact. We will do this by:
Reducing emissions from our operations to ‘net zero’ by 2030
Being a resource-efficient organisation by 2030
Contributing to a ‘net gain’ in biodiversity by 2030
Using our influence to inspire wider action"
That final goal says it all - 'use influence to inspire wider action'.
There is so much on their website about what they are planning and when (Read more here).
I love watching Wimbledon, and now can do so with a Hummingbird smile on my face. Some of my highlights are -
Using renewable electricity to power their operations
Low carbon options on menus for all guests
Balancing emissions from travel by contributing to carbon compensation schemes
Increasing reuse of materials, and recycling
Reusable cups, and water fountains for visitors who are encouraged to use refillable bottles
A 'living wall' to encourage pollinators
Supporting local environmental initiatives
I could go on and on...
