Sustainability Pledge: Reduce your Carbon Footprint

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board’s Sustainability Team is challenging colleagues to act for the future and sign up to a Sustainability Pledge with monthly commitments to make small changes for the good of the planet in 2024.

It sets out one new behaviour you can take up each month such as using reusable cups, avoiding mowing your lawn to allow plants to flower, finding more sustainable routes of travel and going on a low-carbon diet.

Calum Shaw, Environmental Sustainability Improvement Manager, said: “These pledges are aimed at helping you in your day-to-day life, to reduce your impact on the planet and realise some carbon, health and financial benefits. You could also bring these behaviours into the workplace.

“While the calendar contains one action per month, you can choose to do these in a different order or all in one go to make the greatest impact.”
