Gym members reduce their waste at Purbeck Sports Centre
Members of the new gym at Purbeck Sports Centre are each
being given a water bottle to help reduce waste.
Previously, members could help themselves to
endless paper cups of drinking water, which created huge amounts of
waste each day. Members will now be able to help themselves
to plenty of refreshing cold water, but in their own container.
Not only could the new initiative save the
Sports Centre lots of money but this is also good news for the
environment.
Purbeck Sports Centre Operations Manager,
Michelle Goodman, said of the new scheme “Over the last few years,
we have made a conscious effort to become much more
sustainable. This new initiative not only saves on waste and
money, but also reminds visitors and residents to think about how
they can reduce their waste at home.”
Purbeck District Council’s Sports and
Recreation Adviser, Councillor Mike Pratt, said: “I applaud
this new initiative, it’s a great way to reduce your waste while
getting fit, which is good news for the environment as well as the
health of the community.”
