Our Environmental Policy Guidelines

To avoid the unnecessary waste of natural resources by:

1. Using methods of transport which have the lowest carbon emissions where possible

• Instead of short haul flying we use public transport eg.buses
• Instead of taxis we use also use buses
• Bikes / legs are always our favourite!
• Reef-World is committed to offset carbon emissions from flying where possible

2. When working abroad we aim to:

• Eat responsibly sourced and sustainable fish (www.fishonline.org)
• Avoid all restaurants selling shark and other endangered/critical species
• Help reduce any waste of fresh water, particularly on islands
• Choose fan cooled rooms over air-con
• Use the internet for networking, advertising and communications to prevent airfreight and reduce paper use
• To never use plastic bags where possible
• Support all recycling efforts
• To always abide by the Green Fins Code of Conduct and Environmentally Friendly Diving and Snorkelling Guidelines when working in the sea
• Encourage all the people we meet to do the same

3. When working in the office in the UK we aim to:

• Always to turn off the lights, printer, computer fans/heater when not in use
• To reduce the amount of lighting in the office and have low energy bulbs
• To have power saver schemes set up on all computers in the office
• To never print unless absolutley necessary
• Never overfill the kettle when making the tea!
