By Carbon Footprint, Eco-Friendly, Efficient, Green Office, Innovation, One Planet Living, Sustainability, Sustainability Consulting

Continuing our series exploring Bioregional’s ten principles of One Planet Living, the spotlight this month is on Land and Nature.  In having an academic background focused on the natural environment, this principle is close to my heart and promotes the protection and restoration of land and marine systems for the benefit of people and wildlife.

  • To make a positive contribution to local biodiversity.
