Support Beauty in the Built Environment: make a tax deductible Donation to Street Level Australia (link below). Great time for organisations in this industry to support building better, and make a pledge to a registered Australian charity before the end of financial year. They’ve already made such a big impact and proved what they can do with a small amount of resources, including the running of the Sydney is Beautiful architectural competition (involving a site attracting interstate and international entries), and here in Perth the Urban Architecture Studio (challenging the next gen of architects to physically model a mid rise site in Claremont using traditional proportions and facades inspired by local precedent). Street Level’s guiding principles: 01 Beauty. We exist to advance beauty in the built environment. 02 Longevity. We advocate for buildings and developments that will last hundreds, if not thousands, of years. 03 Tradition. We believe that there is an abundance of wisdom, knowledge and technology that our culture and institutions must rediscover. 04 Localism. We believe that decision-making should take place at the most local level possible. https://lnkd.in/gPqe9DsF

These Sheds (and clearly not just Mens Sheds anymore!) are such a good example of how great ideas spread: organically from within communities and not top down. Help from funders and other outsiders is important but only useful when called upon rather than pushed upon. The key is to understand what are the key ingredients for communities to organise themselves and lean into that. This is what sits at the heart of #communityfoundations

This Earth Month, Stardust is excited to bring you some eco-friendly home tips ♻️🏡 . Have you heard of 'deconstruction'? 🔨✨ It's the eco-friendly alternative to demolition - instead of destroying valuable materials from your home (cabinets, countertops, wood, tile, etc) and dumping them in a landfill, Stardust's deconstruction team will carefully remove each piece so these materials can be reused for many more years. . If you're thinking of remodeling your home, we encourage all of our customers to look into deconstruction, for several reasons: 🌎 Stardust's deconstruction team charges nominal fee (demolition can cost thousands) ♻️ we carefully remove each piece, including cleaning up & moving all materials (demolition can leave dangerous debris behind) 💙 saves you time and money! 🌱 it keeps reusable materials out of the landfill 🎉 PLUS, if you deconstruct with Stardust during Earth Month 2024 (April 1 - 30), you will receive a coupon for 25% off your next purchase! .

Putting funds into what communities value

🌍 At Flint Property, Investing Responsibly is Our Commitment 🌍 At Flint Property, we believe in the power of responsible investing and are committed to integrating social values into every aspect of our work. Here’s how we're making a difference: Sustainable Development: Each of our new build commercial and residential projects are developed with a clear focus on sustainability. We work with the latest environmental guidelines to ensure our buildings achieve the highest Energy Performance ratings possible. Carbon Reduction: Our commitment to the environment extends beyond the construction site. For every tree we remove during development, we plant 100 in return, enhancing the green spaces around our projects. We’re also creating car-free schemes and equipping sites with electric charging points to encourage sustainable living. Local Community: We believe in growing together. A portion of our investment profits is always reinvested into the local community. Through supporting local charities, health causes, and well-being organizations, we’re helping to build a brighter future for everyone involved. We’re proud to announce that in alignment with this post, we have donated 200 trees to be planted, reinforcing our dedication to sustainability and community. Let's build a sustainable future together. #FlintProperty #SustainableDevelopment #CarbonReduction #CommunityBuilding #GreenLiving

On our Carpenters Estate regeneration we’re sustainably reusing what would be otherwise waste timber on our Meanwhile projects. But we’ve more Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels than we can use – so if you’re working on a project grab some for free on the Excess Materials Exchange (EME) app. As the panels have been stored outside the condition varies, and you’ll need to do your own due diligence for their application. But re-use ensures the panels aren’t wasted, and will save the right project money. Ideal for city farms, community gardens and a host of other applications. You can choose what you want from those available, with more details around quantity and sizing, plus collection information, on the EME app, or get in touch directly with us. London Borough of Newham and Populo – supporting your circular building ambitions.
