Making a difference

Thanks for logging into our blog.

It's now some 5 or 6 years since I began the quest of transforming the way of doing business in my business - stepping toward being more sustainable. At the start I did an awful lot of research... in the end I just deciding to begin to do stuff.

Our enviro report http://www.carthew.com.au/2007_report.pdf is evidence of our achievements so far. Eco mapping has been instrumental in creating a framework within which to formally structure our work.

Sustainability is a journey, we all begin at a different origin, we advance at different speeds, and always hopefully heading always toward what Ray Anderson calls that "Mount Sustainability".

I look forward to your comments, criticism and perhaps the odd compliment - at the end of the day, the stuff we're doing end up just being nothing more than good business sense!
