The good, responsible life
‘‘We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.’’
— Anne-Marie Bonneau
We are currently living through a pivotal time of collective awareness concerning climate change. Governments and media both openly talk of climate emergencies, and we are witnessing united uprisings calling for action and change all over the globe. Within this context which incites us to act and take individual action, it has become vital for tomorrow’s entrepreneurs to position themselves intelligently.
This is why, at le Triangle de l’Île, we’ve put in place environmental guidelines so we can do our part, for our planet and community’s good.
