Last Tuesday, The Bermuda Environmental Sustainability Taskforce (BEST) formally launched their Blueprint for Environmental Sustainability - 2012.

Greenrock applaud BEST on doing an excellent job in documenting THE PROBLEM together with their suggestions on where to look for solutions. Greenrock agrees that much of the focus needs to be on Changing the Mindset, one person at a time, and we would like to share some current examples of how Greenrock act as part of THE SOLUTION.

eco-tainerGreenrock applaud Buzz's decision to change its packaging, utensils and cups to more environmentally friendly products.

Moving to compostable packaging, starch based cups and sustainably sourced wooden cutlery not only cuts down on our use of scarce resources, but also reduces the toxic chemicals that are released into the air at Tynes Bay when plastic is burned.

byob_nobagthanksDid you know that common estimates for the number of disposable plastic and paper bags used annually are in excess of 500 billion bags? That's about 1 million bags used per minute! What do we use them for? Generally we put a purchase in them, walk or ride home, take the purchase out and throw the bag away. Some of them are reused once or twice but the vast majority is used only once.
