Great Lakes Management’s Post

Purpose is interwoven into every aspect of Oru. Rooted in our core values, we align our impactful initiatives and endeavours with our 'Four Pillars' - Accessibility, Biodiversity, Opportunity, and Sustainability. Each month, members of our team carefully report on, and calculate, the different ways we positively impact our community. This includes: - Discounts on workspace memberships for all charity workers and purposeful organisations - Running 6 free community wellness classes a week - Allocating staff time to social impact initiatives - Regularly donating gifts to local organisations for events However, some of these initiatives go beyond numbers and spreadsheets. We understand that not every impact can be measured in figures. While we may not capture the full extent of how our actions affect individuals in the community, we firmly believe that every effort we make matters. #Purpose #Impact

🌿 "But I'm only one person, how can I help the environment?" 🌍 This question often crosses our minds, and it's incredible how small actions can lead to significant impact. 🌱 Have you heard of Ecosia? It's a search engine on a mission to make the world greener with every search. Here's a fascinating fact: it only takes 45 searches to plant a tree! 🌳 Considering the average person conducts 4 Google searches a day, think about the potential positive change we can create collectively. As I delve into my Marketing major project here on LinkedIn, I'm excited to share that I'm focusing on the transformative impact of Ecosia. Drawing on my experiences as a Website Coordinator intern and my current role as a Web Assistant, I've seen firsthand the power of online platforms in shaping our world. Pause for a moment and ponder - how much do you search on your personal and work laptop? 🖥️ Based on statistics, the average person could plant 32 trees a year just by switching to Ecosia. Now, imagine if my 300 connections on LinkedIn all worked together - we could collectively plant nearly 10,000 trees! 🌲💚 By integrating sustainable practices into our online activities, we can turn our digital presence into a force for good. Join me in using Ecosia for your searches and let's create a positive impact on the environment, one search at a time. Together, we can make a difference! 🌐✨ #Ecosia #GreenSearch #ecofriendly #climatechange #reforestation #greentechnology #greentech #sustainabletech #environmentalimpact #climateaction #techforgood #greeninnovation #savetheplanet #climatesolutions #gogreen #forestrestoration

Here is the recording of today's meeting on "Solidarity Neighborhood. Promoting a sense of community in housing contexts" sponsored by #Buonabitare Bologna. Thank you to #RaffaelloMartini, #DavidChavis and #BrunaZani for their interventions, to #OresteDePietro, #AntonellaLazzari and #CarloBruni for recounting experiences in the panel session, to #Volabo (#MauroBosi, #CinziaMigani, #PaolaAtzei, #DavideAfretti, #MichelaDeFalco, #ViolettaCantori and all the staff) for hosting and helping with the organization, and to all participants. It definitely emerged and confirmed that working on the #senseofcommunity today is more and more important in an increasingly fragmented, polarized, and loneliness-producing society. Not only is it important, but "it can be done": there are tools , processes that can be used. ... Keeping in mind that the starting point, as Chavis said, quoting "MartinLutherKing, is "Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives." https://lnkd.in/dbFgTucK

What community-building and local food security looks like :)

POWERFUL & THOUGHT-PROVOKING.. NOT THE BRANCH, STRIKE THE ROOT TO UPROOT THE TREE OF NEGATIVITY. CHALLENGES & PROBLEMS WILL KEEP REOCCURING IN DIFFERENT FORMS, IF YOU JUST KEEP FIXING THEM EVERYTIME...IDENTIFY & "ELIMINATE" THEM AT THE ROOT INSTEAD.

Check out this snapshot of me alongside my incredible ARTHALAND colleagues, each one committed to making a real impact. Once upon a time, Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) felt distant, like lofty ideals uttered on a stage. But since joining forces with Arthaland, my perspective has done a 180. Our residents and lessees thrive in #sustainable spaces, while we conserve resources. From energy-efficient designs to community engagement, every aspect is geared towards a greener, brighter future. And you know what's even better? It's not just good for the planet; it's good for business too. By prioritizing sustainability, we're not just doing the right thing; we're paving the way for a more prosperous tomorrow—for ourselves, for our environment, and for generations to come. #SustainablyArthaland #UNSDG #SustainableDevelopmentGoals
