🛠️✨ Ready to give your finishes a second life? 🌿🆙 Here’s your guide to recycling your extra stash and keeping your workspace clutter-free: 1. Quarterly Clean-Up: Set a date every three months to go through your materials. Make it a team effort – who’s in charge, and should your building get involved? 2. Return to Manufacturer: Some brands accept returns for unused materials. Check with your suppliers! 3. Swatchbox or Material Bank: These services can help you offload your materials to others who need them. 4. Craigslist: List your items for free or at a discount. You never know who might be looking! 5. Schools: Reach out to local schools – they often need materials for projects. 6. Habitat for Humanity: They love receiving brick samples and other construction materials. 7. Charm and Chime: Check out these platforms for a fresh approach to donating and recycling. Let’s keep our finishes in circulation and reduce waste together! 🌍💚 #SustainableDesign #RecycleAndReuse #GreenBuilding #WorkspaceCleanUp

9Trees CIC is a micro-charity that carries out fantastic work creating nature-rich woodlands around the UK. They've just received a Bisbes grant to plant even more trees, create more woodlands and get more people involved. But the grant only funds 80% of the costs - they're looking for help with the remaining 20%. Here's the twist - they've just under 2 months to put the full cost upfront and then wait for reimbursement during the following 4 months. This poses a challenge for this small non-profit’s cash flow. Can you help? Whether you're an organisation or an individual, every donation will make a huge impact on its work, if it's £2 or £1000. This community interest company is called 9 trees because it's the number required to balance the average UK citizen’s carbon consumption each year. Their work also create jobs in the process.
