B&H WORLDWIDE BECOMES A CLIMATE POSITIVE BUSINESS

April 29, 2022 (Global News Distribution) -

Award-winning specialist aerospace logistics provider, B&H Worldwide, has partnered with Earthly, to become a climate positive business.

Award-winning specialist aerospace logistics provider, B&H Worldwide, has partnered with Earthly, a platform that connects businesses to high-quality nature-based solutions that remove carbon, restore biodiversity & support local communities. B&H chose Earthly because it wanted to commit to long-term projects with measurable benefits rather than simply paying to offset its carbon emissions.

This commitment builds on a range of other initiatives by B&H Worldwide which has now seen it awarded two Green Apple Awards and two Green World awards for environmental practice in the distribution & logistics sector, as it strives to achieve market-leading standards for best practice in all areas where it operates.

The company has a long-term carbon reduction project which is focussed on changing working practices within the organisation to deliver a measurable environment and sustainability policy worldwide so that all stakeholders can see the year-on-year reductions it is achieving.

From the beginning of April, as part of the Earthly partnership and their commitment to being a carbon neutral business, B&H will plant a mangrove tree for every single air freight shipment they process for their customers. By investing in nature now, we can remove carbon, restore nature and help reverse climate breakdown.

Earthly is a ground-breaking platform created to give businesses an effective way to invest in nature. With Earthly, you can remove carbon, restore nature, and reverse climate change. Earthly is an experienced team of entrepreneurs, engineers and scientists, all inspired by a vision of a planet where businesses work in partnership with nature, not against it. By investing in nature now, those joining Earthly can remove carbon, restore nature and help reverse climate breakdown. In the case of B&H, they have signed up to support three specific projects.

Says Paul Wakefield B&H Worldwide’s Group Head of Finance: “By signing up to the Earthly platform we have found projects which we believe can inspire us to further enhance our commitment to reducing the impact the work we do has on the environment.

“We pride ourselves on being a responsive, sustainable business through using environmentally sound innovative logistics solutions. Joining something which our customers can also aspire to illustrates how inclusive we want to make this. Every shipment they send with B&H can be part of the Earthly scheme.

“This is an innovative, practical and climate positive solution which the whole team is proud to have signed up to”, he adds.

Synergy for Ecological Solutions Brings Innovation of Climate Wellness Through Soil Health

March 19, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

New Nonprofit Disrupts the Status Quo for Carbon Capture

National nonprofit Synergy for Ecological Solutions officially launches on the first day of Spring, March 20. SYNERGY is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to serving our environment through a one-of-a-kind program of climate wellness through soil health and other ecological synergies.

“While other carbon programs involve credits, taxes, government programs, and protocols that are not always beneficial or possible for a land manager, at SYNERGY, we started with the science and worked backward to create a program called YOU360,” says Jeff Holder of Synergy for Ecological Solutions.”

“While other carbon programs involve credits, taxes, government programs, and protocols that are not always beneficial or possible for a land manager, at SYNERGY, we started with the science and worked backward to create a program called YOU360,” says Jeff Holder of Synergy for Ecological Solutions. “We let Nature clean the air and we do it by letting individuals and businesses be the solution.”

The YOU360 program brings together those who are motivated to help the environment with those who manage open land of any kind, such as ranches, farms, parks, and golf courses.

Donors called Change Agents donate monthly to SYNERGY, who in turn, provides grants to land managers called Land Stewards to change equipment or practices that will result in increased soil health. Better soil increases photosynthesis, which releases more oxygen into the air and sequesters greater carbon into the roots and soil. The You360 program is a natural, organic method for cleaning the air.

President Biden’s climate-focused administration has identified carbon capture in soils as critical to air quality health. The You360 program can take advantage of any open land to create carbon sinks for trapping the carbon out of the air.

The US Department of Agriculture has quantified the vast carbon storage potential of healthy soil. A recent study by USDA scientists estimates that Wyoming’s rangelands alone have the capacity to store carbon from over 11 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. Combined with acreage across the West and Midwest, the potential to create climate wellness is immense.

“Using our open lands, we can work on carbon neutrality today, not years from now. If we focus on science, it will lead to interaction between soil health and climate wellness,” says John Robitaille of Carbon Asset Network.

SYNERGY works with Carbon Asset Network, which is a network of land stewards throughout the nation.
