Plymouth, CT is making strides towards a greener future! 🌞 The Planning and Zoning Commission is reviewing proposals for a large-scale solar farm by Inland Fuel Terminals on unused land, which aims to generate clean energy while preserving industrial functions. Additionally, there are plans to allow residential apartments atop commercial buildings, promoting vibrant mixed-use development. These initiatives not only support sustainability but also boost economic growth and community engagement. Stay tuned as Plymouth continues to shape its landscape for the better! 🌱🏙️ https://lnkd.in/eZxHX-t2 #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #GreenTech #SustainableLiving #EcoFriendlyInnovation

We're excited to announce that our 49.9MW Knowl Green Solar Park has received planning consent! ☀️ The site in Belchamp St Paul will  • deliver clean renewable energy to 12,501 homes  • offset around 11,702 tonnes of CO2 emissions helping to accelerate decarbonisation in the UK. Biodiversity is at the heart of our considerations too. That's why we've also committed to providing a 179.96% increase in biodiversity net gain and 53.59% for hedgerow increase, FAR exceeding the minimum 10% target outlined by the Government. Lastly, we'll be giving back to the community by establishing a Community Benefit Fund worth up to £49,990 to ensure funds are distributed to local projects. Crucially, our Knowl Green solar park marks another step forward to helping the UK reach a 95% low carbon energy generation by 2030 - and fight climate change.

Excellent example of a funder supporting a church capital project where: ✅ The church building provides a venue for lots of different activities, not just church worship ✅ There is a demonstrable need for this (there are no other suitable buildings) ✅ Significant local fundraising demonstrates how important the church is to the local community If you are looking for funding for a church project, please bear this in mind. You need to start by asking who is this important to?

Money doesn’t grow on trees, but it certainly grows on sunshine ☀ We’re working with Equans UK & Ireland and the LHW Partnership LLP to deliver a new solar farm in Barkham. It’s a great investment for the local area as the solar farm could generate an income of around £2.74 million a year, helping us protect the essential frontline services our residents rely on so much ❤ It’s also a big win for our plans to help tackle the climate emergency, as the solar farm will generate a carbon saving of more than 6,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year, see thousands of new trees planted, and a significant improvement to the biodiversity of the area through detailed landscaping plans. We’re also creating a new traffic free greenway route to better connect local towns and villages and encourage people to ‘ditch their cars’ 🌍 Read more about this great scheme here 👉https://lnkd.in/gTjx4psD

At Tillwell, we're inspired by this powerful message from the David Suzuki Foundation. Like Canada's renewable energy sector, the funeral industry has the knowledge and technology to provide more sustainable, eco-friendly options. However, outdated legislation often protects legacy practices and incumbents, hindering innovation. As pioneers in the funeral sector, we've experienced firsthand the challenges of introducing cleaner technologies like aquamation. Despite its clear environmental benefits, we've faced regulatory hurdles designed for traditional methods that no longer reflect best practices or consumer values. We believe that, just as in the energy sector, a shift in policy would accelerate the adoption of green technologies in end-of-life care. Tillwell remains committed to pushing for these changes, offering ecological alternatives that challenge "business as usual" and pave the way for a more sustainable future in our industry. Together, we can create a world where ecologically mindful choices are not just available, but encouraged across all sectors. Let's work towards policies that support innovation and sustainability in every aspect of our lives - from the power we use to the way we honor our loved ones. #SustainableFuture #GreenTechnology #FuneralInnovation #CleanEnergy #PolicyForChange David Suzuki Foundation Government of Manitoba Tracy Schmidt Lisa Naylor North Forge Futurpreneur Manitoba Métis Federation Manitoba Business Matters Government of Canada Trees for Cities B Lab U.S. & Canada B Lab

Over the past few months, we’ve been deeply engaged in the regional sustainable energy conversation and this commitment will continue throughout the year. While we do want to focus on private sector impact, we cannot turn a blind eye on community involvement. At the community level, this means creating sustainable projects that allows involvement for all, job creation and economic growth, community business development and economic security for future generations. #AnsaMcAlGroup #AnsaMcAL #AnsaMcALLeadership #SustainableEnergy #greenenergy
