The Hazelvine Green StandardOur Green Commitment to our residents
We aim to introduce as many of the following initiatives on as many of out sites as possible and to promote them through newsletters and the website. We also aim to find a ‘champion’ from among the residents to co-ordinate and promote the benefits at site level:
- Access to recycling bins.
- Water butts – for watering flower beds and washing cars.
- Compost heaps or composters for leaves and cuttings – to be managed by our gardeners.
- Combined shopping deliveries – through our secure message board.
- Car sharing – through our secure message board.
- Secure storage for cycles and promotion of local cycle routes.
- Easy access to local bus and train timetables.
- Free – cycle/Swap Shop area on website message boards.
- Promotion of local car clubs (if appropriate).
- Travel Plans – and to act as Travel Plan Co-ordinator.
- Identifying areas on our developments where vegetables or herbs can be grown by residents.
- Promotion of local farmers markets and shops supplying local produce.
- Replacing, progressively, blown light bulbs with low energy bulbs.
- Maximising our use of email and communication thorough our website, to reduce the amount of hard-copy mail and postage.
