Planet-Friendly Practice
Living and working sustainably every day is not just talk at Bloom. We walk the walk.
Here are some of our actions in the Bloom office and portfolio:
- Maximise insulation for energy efficiency and comfort.
- Use efficient LED lighting.
- Harvest rainwater for drinking and washing.
- Conserve water and reuse wastewater responsibly onsite.
- Select and use energy-efficient appliances.
- Heat with green electricity or low-emission, sustainably harvested, locally sourced wood.
- Plant trees regularly for native bird habitat and carbon sequestration.
- Preserve and protect native bush and rivers from grazing and silting.
- Reduce plastics, paper, all packaging, non-recyclables and chemical use.
- Use passive heating and cooling when possible.
- Protect and boost soil ecosystems.
- Control predators and pests to protect wildlife.
- Drive small vehicles efficiently, minimise journeys and maximise trip purposes.
- Research and evaluate simple ways to improve sustainability.
- Grow food and shop local.
- ...and we are going to go solar-powered to be 100% carbon neutral (and resilient) soon!
