Environmental Message WILDLIFE WORLD/BANANA BARN The environmental impact of our small business is of the greatest importance to us personally. Our decisions are not always made on commercial grounds. We are continually working to not only improve our own environmental credentials but also inform others of organisations dedicated to preserving and improving our environment. |

CLIMATE CARE - Within our business we are continually trying to reduce our impact on the environment, despite the fact that there are always elements such as transport, component production etc that we cannot avoid. Whilst it is not the final answer, we decided that the Climate Care Scheme is the best available option at present for managing and partially offsetting these remaining CO2 liabilities. The Climate Care Fund supports a variety of CO2 reduction projects around the world. Climate Care work is guided by an Environmental Steering Committee. ELECTRICITY - We have changed our electricity supply to NPower Juice Clean and Green Electricity developed with a partnership between NPower and Greenpeace (generated from renewable sources) F.S.C - We are members of an FSC Chain Of Custody Group and have been responsible for encouraging several sawmills and suppliers to become Certified to meet our demand for well managed timber. We have now almost achieved a 100% FSC supply for all our components other than waste wood.
WOOD - Most of the wood we use is produced under the FSC Scheme or from offcut/waste wood. PLASTIC - We try to minimise plastic in our products and are testing biodegradable alternatives. We are particularly worried about plastic production emissions and non-degradability. ULEY TIGER - We have invested in the prototype production of this Industrial Machine designed by Mark Baker, which turns our waste cardboard into packing material mats. This saves big costs as we no longer buy bubblewrap or corrugated cardboard. See our Workshop Page NEW CARDBOARD - 90% of our new cardboard packing boxes are constructed from 100% recycled cardboard. PAINTS & STAINS - We have eliminated all solvent-based paints and stains on our wooden products, by using only water-based finishes - good for us and good for our animal, bird and insect tenants. ORGANISATIONS & CHARITIES - We try to support as many environmental organisations as possible, and we are suppliers to many of their catalogues.
