Guest blog \u2013 Lisa, Customer Service Advisor at Host <\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

This week (23rd – 29th September 2019) is\u00a0Recycle Week. Now in its 17th year, Recycle Week<\/a> is a celebration of recycling. The aim of the week is to encourage people to recycle, by demonstrating the benefits of recycling items at home.<\/p>\n

At Host<\/a>, we’re keen to do our bit to become more environmentally friendly. We have recycling facilities at our properties and encourage students and staff to recycle and conserve energy where possible. Later this year, we’ll also be launching the 2019\/20 #HostEnvironmentalPledge campaign so keep an eye out for more information soon.<\/p>\n

We have a dedicated team who are passionate about reducing our environmental impact, including Lisa from Central Quay, Sheffield.<\/p>\n

Lisa’s Story:<\/h3>\n

\u201cHi, my name\u2019s Lisa. I\u2019ve worked at Central Quay<\/a> in Sheffield as a Customer Service Advisor for two years. In addition to my job as Customer Service Advisor, I\u2019m also part of the Host Sustainability committee. I want to help support the challenges we face in being more environmentally friendly and looking at how we can reduce our environmental impact within Central Quay itself.<\/p>\n

Sustainability and the environment have been close to my heart for a long time. I\u2019ve been working with my husband to reduce the amount of waste that we produce as a family. Since the start of 2019 we\u2019ve committed to living Zero Waste, adding no new plastic waste to landfill.<\/p>\n

\"lisa<\/p>\n

Over the coming year, I\u2019ll be writing posts about our experiences in reducing our waste. In addition, I’ll share with you, information and tips on how you can apply simple changes to reduce your waste too. As the saying goes \u201cWe don\u2019t need a handful of people doing \u2018zero waste\u2019 perfectly, we need millions of people doing it imperfectly\u201d.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re making changes where we can at Central Quay too – which I\u2019ll write about as we work to improve sustainable practices across the building. So, watch this space and get involved!<\/p>\n

If you have ideas, we\u2019ll share them and work together to reduce our impact and limit the amount of damage we\u2019re doing to our amazing planet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
