GP's Reduce Your Footprint campaign – get involved!
Global warming, overpopulation, deforestation, pollution…
there’s no hiding from the fact we humans are hurting our planet. Every action,
every decision we make has an impact, which is why we all need to take steps to
make sure our lifestyles are as sustainable as possible.
When it comes to protecting the planet and reducing our
carbon footprint, little changes make a huge difference. Just imagine the
impact if every single person made a small, but positive change to the way they
live?
Reduce Your Footprint
TODAY
If you know GP, you’ll know we’re serious about protecting
the environment. This is exactly why we’ve launched the Reduce Your Footprint campaign,
which is based on three main principles:
●
Reduce. The
less you use and throw away, the more you’ll reduce personal waste and waste
sent to landfill.
●
Recycle. From
batteries and clothes, to cardboard boxes and yoghurt pots, there are so many
household items that can be recycled.
●
Recharge. Save
money and reduce your footprint by making the switch from single use to
rechargeable batteries.
Our mission is simple: we want everyone to reduce, recycle
and recharge. Because by doing so, we can dramatically decrease our footprint
and leave behind a better world for future generations.
We’re calling on consumers and retailers to pledge their support for the
environment, and their dedication to minimising their carbon footprint. So,
what are you waiting for? Pledge your support, spread the word, and encourage
and inspire others to protect the planet by making greener choices.
What are those
‘greener’ choices?
●
At home – Insulating your loft
to preserve energy, turning appliances off rather than leaving them on standby,
switching to a Clean Energy tariff, recycling all items that can be recycled,
using low-energy light bulbs.
●
On the road – Car sharing for
work, driving an electric or hybrid car, choosing a car that offers good miles
per gallon, riding a bike or walking rather than driving.
●
Out shopping – Buying local to
reduce transportation costs, picking your own fruit, buying second hand, buying
products with minimal – or no – packaging.
●
Reducing waste – Ditching
plastic straws, using a refillable water bottle, shopping with bags for life,
recycling properly by putting items in the right bins.
Recharge with GP
Now, you might be wondering what GP is doing to protect the
planet. Well, we’re the world’s largest manufacturer of rechargeable batteries, meaning
we’re helping both retailers and consumers make more eco-friendly choices.
We also produce a range of chargers and PowerBanks for our
batteries, like the 2-in-1 GP Charge AnyWay. The Charge AnyWay
comes with a pack of our lithium-free ReCyko+ Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
batteries, which means that when you’re flying, you can travel with it in your
holdall and carry-on luggage.
When we’re not busy selling rechargeable batteries, we’re
busy promoting the importance of recycling disposable ones – to help cut the
astonishing 600 million that end up in UK landfill every single year.
Feel good that you’re doing your bit to protect the
environment and reduce your footprint – pledgeto reuse, recycle and recharge today.
