How Fearless Prose Supports Environmental Sustainability

Author: Sandy Vaile 

How is the environment relevant to fiction coaching?

When you think fiction coach, your mind probably doesn't automatically leap to environmental sustainability, does it? I have to admit that I hadn't considered how my own environmental beliefs might support business efficiency and values either.

But last night I attended a fantastic Southern Business Networking and Mentoring event in McLaren Vale, and learnt how businesses can become more environmentally sustainable by implementing a circular economy model of production and consumption.

What is a circular economy?

This involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible.

It was inspiring to hear what local businesses are doing to support this model. From a dairy trialling re-useable glass bottles, and industry-leading viticulture practices, to a home business offering refills for household products, and a cafe that produces only one single household bin of waste each week.

Inspiring stuff! 

My Business and Environmental Values 

​Things I already in my home, which have a positive impact on my business efficiency and support my personal values:

♻️ Reuse
♻️ Recycle as much household waste as possible
♻️ Look for environmentally sustainable products when making purchases
♻️ Run my house on rain water for part of the year
♻️ Support my electricity needs with a solar system
♻️ Water the garden using tank water

And, because I am always one to be stretching my limits, in the future I'd like to explore: 

🌻 Composting food scraps 
🌻 Investing in a battery to store solar power 

I'd love to hear what actions you take to support environmental sustainability in your life. Drop a comment below.
