Carbon Efficiency
Whilst it is probably impossible to become carbon neutral whilst operating a busy ecological consultancy Helios Ecology has made a concerted effort to reduce carbon output over the last year. No business flights were taken, all reports/letters/marketing was printed on recycled paper, in house documents are always printed on used paper, re-used/recycled envelopes are used where possible, obtaining relatively local work has remained a priority, energy efficient lamps are now in use for the office, a low emission vehicle is used for site visits, bottle traps/canes/reptile mats etc are re-used until they fall apart rather than replaced each year, an RSPB credit card is used for equipment purchases and refueling, electrical equipment is passed on for re-use when obsolete or taken to the local recycling centre and emails are filed electronically rather than printed. A highly efficient Condensing boiler has recently been fitted to the premises for central heating and hot water. This is expected to reduce electricity and gas consumption considerably over an annual period.
Publications
Most recently, Helios Ecology has contributed photographs and text to British Mountaineering Council publications regarding bird restrictions to climbing activity.
Charity Support
Helios Ecology has recently pledged support to WWF by adopting a tiger and has recently contributed to a marine conservation organisation called Save the Blue who are a charity tackling the problem of shark finning in China.
