The Greening Businesses in Hackbridge project is making it easy for small businesses to go green. Local charity BioRegional is offering independent, free and easy to understand advice to businesses until 2012. If you are a business in Hackbridge and would like free one-to-one support, please contact Matt Sullivan at BioRegional (020 8404 4238 or email on matt.sullivan@bioregional.com).
This page is a resource hub for the network, providing news, advice, tools and other resources.
Monitoring tool
This monitoring tool helps you track your energy, water, waste and transport environmental impacts. It also generates posters that you can stick around the office. We like this monitoring tool but are likely to improve it over time as more people start to use it. So keep posted for updates.
