Energy Conservation
Natural capital is the basis of life itself when it’s gone so is mankind.
The key points:
- In their extraction and use, substances taken from the Earth should not exceed the environments capacity to disperse, absorb or otherwise neutralise any harmful effects on humans and / or the environment.
- In their manufacture and use, artificial substances should not exceed the environments capacity to disperse, absorb or otherwise neutralise any harmful effects on humans and / or the environment.
- The capacity of the environment to provide eco system integrity, biological diversity and productivity is protected or enhanced.
- All infrastructures and processes making minimal use of natural resources and maximum use of technology, human innovation and skills.
Valuing Nature
We are and always will be part of nature, embedded in the natural world, and totally dependent for our own economic and social wellbeing upon the resources and systems that sustain life on Earth. These systems have limits, which we breach at our peril. All economic activity must be constrained within those limits. We have an inescapable moral responsibility to pass on to future generations a healthy and diverse environment, and critical natural capital unimpaired by economic development. Even as we learn to manage our use of the natural world more efficiently, so we must affirm those individual beliefs and belief systems which revere nature for its intrinsic value, regardless of its economic and aesthetic value to humankind.
Action operate a ‘buy back’ or ‘collection’ scheme for all equipment we supply for either responsible disposal, donation to good causes or recycling.
