Mission takes small steps towards bigger goals of sustainability

Like many companies, organisations and charities, the Felsted School Mission has looked to reduce waste and carbon emissions.

Tom Booker, community projects manager of the Ascension Community Trust (ACT), says that everyone is involved with the pursuit of sustainability at the Ascension. “We all have a part to play, both rolling up our sleeves and raising our voices,” he says. “Whilst larger goals of sustainability may seem overwhelming, we must start somewhere and build small steps into eventual long-term transformation.

“At ACT, via our Foodbank, we already re-direct donations of surplus food which would otherwise go to waste, from business to the local people most in need.”

The Felsted School Mission is also planning to implement new composting systems to repurpose food waste as well as install rainwater capture equipment to reduce water consumption.
