Greening of the blue


One of Brunel's great engineering triumphs, S.S Great Britain in Bristol, will set the scene for this year's The Green Blue Annual Conference being held on Tuesday 4th November.

Now in its second year, the conference has steadily gained momentum and provides the marine industry a great platform to discuss environmental issues and learn how best to go about being more environmentally friendly in their particular organisation.

The Green Blue's Project Manager Sarah Black explains; "The Green Blue is designed to help all boaters and marine businesses get access to relevant environmental information. The success of the conference last year told us that this is a really good way of getting information out in a way which is useful.

This year the conference also involves a workshop element, Sarah continues; "We are looking forward to some robust discussions in our workshops. They are a chance for the delegates to ask any questions they want in a friendly atmosphere - last year the discussions kept coming back to recycling - as a result, this year we are delighted to be joined by our new Recycling Officer Dan Reading"

As well as the opportunity to discuss environmental issues which matter to you and your organisation, The Green Blue team will also be showcasing their new Environmental Self Assessment Toolkit. By answering a set of questions online the toolkit assesses environmental practices and offers advice on how to make sure you are operating within the law.

To book a place on the conference or to find out more information about it contact the Green Blue team on 0845 345 0400.
