Conservatree4u are very pleased to publicly announce our ‘Conserv-a-Tree’ message.
What’s it all about then?
For quite some time now we have been debating the effect of our industry on the environment along with the general issue of climate change and as a socially responsible company we have been developing our way of ‘Giving Something Back For Putting Something Up’. Sorry, we tried to think of something a little less cheesy.
Our Business is based not only on supplying
DIY conservatories to you in a fresh no pressure policy way, but also with an ethical stance. Whilst it is great that UPVC is in itself recyclable (more on that to come in the future), the manufacture of it is in part fossil fuel reliant. It is a part oil based product and that means we are having an effect on our environment and our planet. It’s not as bad as others would have you believe, but nonetheless we’re not going to shy away from any implication.
Afterall, someone who champions the use of timber, surely has to take the point that deforestation is taking place to utilise the wood and carbon emissions are also a product of their industry.
As time progresses we will continue to post further articles to champion the cause of UPVC, but for a great head start check out the
Fighting back with facts website. We’ll be extracting some of the information published on there as time goes on to help to spread the wider message.
So what are we doing?
Well a clue has always been in our name right from the start!
Within our Business Model we are commited to donating a percentage of our annual turnover to programmes that help to conserve our trees, woods and forests. So, for every sale, 1% of that price will go towards ‘conserving a tree’ somewhere out there in the UK!. That means if you buy one of our products you will be directly donating to this campaign and ultimately playing your part in helping the environment. The
Woodland Trust say it costs around £15 to plant, nurture and mature one tree, so an average conservatory purchase will lead to the donation towards the 12 year maturity life cycle of 2 trees.
But it’s more than that… it’s about spreading the word.
As people become more environmentally aware as they buy products – from where their vegetables come from – to how and where they are grown, we too understand that it will become an increasingly significant factor in purchasing trends in the years to come. As such we want to help this industry to change the way it operates by being at the forefront of such a campaign and spread the message to the industry as a whole It would give us great satisfaction to see this view being adopted by others to join us in ‘giving something back’.
So what next?
Well, this is just the start. There is much more to do and much more to understand about how we can make a real difference out there in our world. As time passes we will post more on here about what we have found out and what we have been up to. In the meantime lets get the message out there! So as we say, ‘from little acorns …’
