Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing problems the world faces today. Plastic objects clog up landfill sites, they destroy ecosystems, and they pollute the food and water we use every day. From cutlery to plastic bags, we’ve been conditioned into accepting a throw away lifestyle as the new normal - and as a result, reliance of single-use disposables has increased exponentially. At work, this is no exception. We rely on snacks wrapped in plastic, meal-deal sandwiches, plastic straws, and coffee cups that are thrown away just minutes after being used for the first time. But it’s time for collective change. While governments focus on cutting down domestic waste, we are yet to see a much-needed and concerted effort from businesses and the private sector, who are poised to make an enormous contribution to leadership, innovation and energy in solving the plastic pollution crisis. Which is why we came up with Greenlist. We’re looking to empower companies; giving them the right tools to create and promote a sustainable office lifestyle, while driving change in their businesses in a way that feels natural. Without nagging or finger-pointing, we help businesses to encourage individual employees to lead by example and influence other staff in being more cautious about plastic pollution and using resources sustainably. When we act collectively we can inspire HUGE change - and the same applies to the Green Revolution. It really is a team effort. Help your business work towards a greener, cleaner and better future for all. Sign up to Greenlist today.

@maximedegreve HI Maxime, Have you heard of SEEDS. The Conscious Currency? If not I feel you would resonate with it. You see, SEEDS is Cultivating the Regenerative Movement SEEDS exists to serve the global movements, organisations and businesses that are creating a more just, connected and regenerative society. SEEDS is a financial ecosystem that not only recognizes and rewards the contributions that you as planetary healers make, but also amplifies your efforts. Our strategy is to weave together the plethora of initiatives, movements, new forms of enterprise, and lifestyle experiments which are invisibly connected in a shared attempt to bring about a more sustainable future. By uniting existing and emerging regenerative efforts, together we shape an integrated impulse for genuine transformation giving form to a planetary-scale network of regenerative hubs – all of which align around a shared vision for change. Since the launch of the SEEDS Global Passport, we have been approached by more than 50 bioregions on six continents and are cultivating a thriving global coalition of value-based organisations encompassing 350+ networks of organisations. To continue weaving the regenerative movement and accelerate you into the Game of SEEDS, we invite you to participate in this multi-stakeholder ecosystem mapping of our allied organisations. Feel free to reach out to me directly and I can send you an invite. joinseeds.earth is more information you might find deeply interesting. En Gratitude, Troy Mork Orchestrator & Facilitator at The Game of SEEDS

Really cool idea — does it estimate CO2 emissions saved?

@realrossgordon Not yet but we have some ideas in the pipeline to visualise those. For example show how many cups you saved so far and how this translates to landfill, buildings, eifel towers...

What a "how techies think the world can be saved" cliché.

@drikkes We've never said we would save the world. This tool is to help raise awareness at work for our environment as a **positive** initiative. Every tiny bit contributes to a bigger part of making a change.

@maximedegreve So that's what you think a "Green _Revolution_" (quoting your website) is?

@maximedegreve @drikkes Revolution means a drastically change in behaviour, this can be on a social level inside a company, this never implied 'the world'. Making a people aware of the challenges ahead due to climate change is a positive small addition to helping more people shift their attitude. We understand that there will be people like you that have a negative attitude against projects that raise awareness on this but we hope the majority will have a more bright, happy and fun attitude on making a small change.
