Sustainability is a journey, not a destination
Gaia has green message to visitors
Luke Jerram’s mission behind Gaia is to make visitors aware how incredible our planet is and more so, how important it is to protect it, by implementing sustainable actions in everyday life that have a positive impact on the environment.
How Millennium Point is doing our bit for Global Warming
As an award-winning landmark building, it is vital to do our part to aim to be as sustainable as possible. As times have changed, Millennium Point have adapted to try and become greener to protect our planet and promote the importance of sustainability. Having Gaia at Millennium Point we hope it transfers the same thought-provoking action that is needed to make a change.
Little changes make a big difference
At Millennium Point a range of processes have been put in place to ensure we aren’t wasteful or adding to our carbon footprint:
- Energy Management and the journey to net zero carbon are at the heart of all our decisions.
- We try not to create waste but where we do, we segregate and recycle as much as we can.
- We encourage staff, tenants and visitors to make green travel choices.
