TiFry Limited
There is no doubt that climate change has become a well discussed topic and a hugeconcern in 2015 With the COP 21 talks in Paris this month making significant headway indeveloping an action plan to try and counter act pollution on an international level itmakes us wonder what can be done on a smaller scale to help the cause
TiFry a specialist in oil filtration systems based in the UK have engaged in a lsquoGreenPolicyrsquo to help promote and create a sustainable product that has many benefits Benefitsthat not only help reduce costs in the commercial kitchen but benefits of a greener natureTiFry Filters can reduce the cost of cooking oil costs by up to 50 by halving the oilconsumption of the kitchen This reduction in consumption directly offsets carbonemissions from kitchens and reduces the impact on rainforests
Yet TiFry see a need to exhibit a more active attitude towards positive movements to
counter climate change To offset the use of the paper filters in the product TiFry plant atree for every unit sold
In 2015 TiFry began a working relationship with Trees for Life an active charity based inthe Caledonian Forest Scotland and work tirelessly year round to rejuvenate the nativespecies An army of volunteers nurture the young trees care for the old ones and plantnew trees to restore large areas where the forest has receded over the years Workingalongside Trees for Life TiFry want to help them in their target to plant another milliontrees by 2018

CleanConscience
CleanConscience offers the UK hospitality industry an unprecedentedopportunity to see their soap and toiletry waste as a resource and to work and supporttheir local communities and charities Out of the 70 million hotel rooms in the UK 3500 tonnes of Soap and BathroomAmenities are wasted annually Clean Conscience has therefore come up with a model to address these waste issues aswell as that of creating jobs for disabled people to support this recycling programmetherefore killing various birds with one stone
Through a series of satellite hub Clean Conscience will be able to easily service 4000hotel rooms This will prevent approximately 50 tonnes of soap and toiletry waste fromgoing to landfill or being incinerated in each catchment area annually
CleanConscience opened the doors to its recycling operational unit on 1 July 2015 thatthis became a first reality Shortly after announcing that they were ready to start rolling outtheir TurnKeytrade Solution for hotels within a 30-mile radius of their unit outsideMaidenhead Powell had forward-thinking hotels like Brownrsquos Hotel (Mayfair) The RitzLondon The Dorchester The Cavendish The Capital and Levin Hotel Sanderson and StMartinrsquos Lane signed up Please go to cleanconscienceorguk to find out more about this great initiative helpingyou reduce and thereby creating work opportunities for those with more mental andphysical challenges than ourselves Additionally Each CleanConscience satellite hub will aim to produce 150000 bars of soapannually which will be offered to local charitable organisations on request Once the UKhas been saturated soap will be offered to European humanitarian aid organisations Itrsquos a win - win situation all around
Carbon Compensation amp Offsetting Projects
Carbon Compensation for travel through positive impact projects - the talk of the year inparticular during and around Cop21 in Paris Similar to doing onersquos tax declaration or expenses at the end of each year Carboncompensation for travel is slowly becoming a regular exercise organisations and privateindividuals engage in More and more companies that cannot avoid business trips toconferences and events recognise their climate responsibility and compensate their trips
In the tourist sector many agencies offer their clients the option to offset their emissionsperhaps as a hotel this might be something to offer to onersquos guest as a service too But when doing so it is key to chose the right organisations mostly the guidelines hereshould be to look for those which use compensation as a contribution to climate protection
with added value to people worldwide The UN recommends to offset those emissions youcannot reduce with with UN Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) Offsets must meet stringent standards of environmental integrity UN Certified EmissionReductions from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) meet high environmentalintegrity standards approved by the UNFCCC Buy offsets online from CDM projects
Offsetting projects are located in developing countries that often cannot afford to reduceemissions on their own In addition to reducing emissions the projects also contribute tosustainable development priorities such as education and health improvements in thecommunities that host them
Some also offer substantial additional environmental benefits such as improved air andwater quality or protection of biodiversity The sale of climate credits generates localincome and supports economic growth in poor communities For more information go to httpclimateneutralnoworgSitePagesHomeaspx

Aunt Bessiersquos and Hallmark Cards believes that companies can have their cake and eat itwhen it comes to sustainability
ldquoBusinesses particularly in the hospitality and entertainment sector are leading the waywhen it comes to addressing their carbon impact While recycling and grey water use helpto reduce emissions Plan Beersquos hives deliver a unique brand of lsquoproactive sustainabilityrsquoHoneybees are essential to our ecosystem and are responsible for pollinating a third ofthe food we eat Thatrsquos a message that children in particular can relate to
ldquoChildren are desperate for knowledge and they want to know where the food that theyeat comes from Itrsquos equally important for hospitality businesses that they can answer suchprovenance questions from ever more ethical consumers At the same time businessesare looking to engage more directly with their communities and to leave an environmentallegacy that they can be proud of They want to provide an aspirational message forenvironmentally engaged children or as we like to call them GenerationBeerdquo
TiFry Limited
There is no doubt that climate change has become a well discussed topic and a hugeconcern in 2015 With the COP 21 talks in Paris this month making significant headway indeveloping an action plan to try and counter act pollution on an international level itmakes us wonder what can be done on a smaller scale to help the cause
TiFry a specialist in oil filtration systems based in the UK have engaged in a lsquoGreenPolicyrsquo to help promote and create a sustainable product that has many benefits Benefitsthat not only help reduce costs in the commercial kitchen but benefits of a greener natureTiFry Filters can reduce the cost of cooking oil costs by up to 50 by halving the oilconsumption of the kitchen This reduction in consumption directly offsets carbonemissions from kitchens and reduces the impact on rainforests
Yet TiFry see a need to exhibit a more active attitude towards positive movements to
counter climate change To offset the use of the paper filters in the product TiFry plant atree for every unit sold
In 2015 TiFry began a working relationship with Trees for Life an active charity based inthe Caledonian Forest Scotland and work tirelessly year round to rejuvenate the nativespecies An army of volunteers nurture the young trees care for the old ones and plantnew trees to restore large areas where the forest has receded over the years Workingalongside Trees for Life TiFry want to help them in their target to plant another milliontrees by 2018

CleanConscience
CleanConscience offers the UK hospitality industry an unprecedentedopportunity to see their soap and toiletry waste as a resource and to work and supporttheir local communities and charities Out of the 70 million hotel rooms in the UK 3500 tonnes of Soap and BathroomAmenities are wasted annually Clean Conscience has therefore come up with a model to address these waste issues aswell as that of creating jobs for disabled people to support this recycling programmetherefore killing various birds with one stone
Through a series of satellite hub Clean Conscience will be able to easily service 4000hotel rooms This will prevent approximately 50 tonnes of soap and toiletry waste fromgoing to landfill or being incinerated in each catchment area annually
CleanConscience opened the doors to its recycling operational unit on 1 July 2015 thatthis became a first reality Shortly after announcing that they were ready to start rolling outtheir TurnKeytrade Solution for hotels within a 30-mile radius of their unit outsideMaidenhead Powell had forward-thinking hotels like Brownrsquos Hotel (Mayfair) The RitzLondon The Dorchester The Cavendish The Capital and Levin Hotel Sanderson and StMartinrsquos Lane signed up Please go to cleanconscienceorguk to find out more about this great initiative helpingyou reduce and thereby creating work opportunities for those with more mental andphysical challenges than ourselves Additionally Each CleanConscience satellite hub will aim to produce 150000 bars of soapannually which will be offered to local charitable organisations on request Once the UKhas been saturated soap will be offered to European humanitarian aid organisations Itrsquos a win - win situation all around
Carbon Compensation amp Offsetting Projects
Carbon Compensation for travel through positive impact projects - the talk of the year inparticular during and around Cop21 in Paris Similar to doing onersquos tax declaration or expenses at the end of each year Carboncompensation for travel is slowly becoming a regular exercise organisations and privateindividuals engage in More and more companies that cannot avoid business trips toconferences and events recognise their climate responsibility and compensate their trips
In the tourist sector many agencies offer their clients the option to offset their emissionsperhaps as a hotel this might be something to offer to onersquos guest as a service too But when doing so it is key to chose the right organisations mostly the guidelines hereshould be to look for those which use compensation as a contribution to climate protection
with added value to people worldwide The UN recommends to offset those emissions youcannot reduce with with UN Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) Offsets must meet stringent standards of environmental integrity UN Certified EmissionReductions from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) meet high environmentalintegrity standards approved by the UNFCCC Buy offsets online from CDM projects
Offsetting projects are located in developing countries that often cannot afford to reduceemissions on their own In addition to reducing emissions the projects also contribute tosustainable development priorities such as education and health improvements in thecommunities that host them
Some also offer substantial additional environmental benefits such as improved air andwater quality or protection of biodiversity The sale of climate credits generates localincome and supports economic growth in poor communities For more information go to httpclimateneutralnoworgSitePagesHomeaspx
