Second ConcRE_t coffee behind us!
Sylwia Hull-Wosiek
The next coffee was first and foremost another guest speaker - and that was Anna Pięta. Anna is an activist, sustainability and communications consultant and above all a person who loves our Planet.
The topic of conversation was the Planet and, above all, how we can take care of it - we as individuals and we as a business. As Ania says, nothing will change unless we start making changes at the individual level. And we can really do a lot. Starting with ourselves, we can pay more attention to what we eat, what we wear, what cosmetics we use. Think about what are the products we use every day and what is their origin story. Starting with changes on an individual basis, we go out towards our communities, towards the local area, where we can also propose but also observe changes towards a healthier Planet and a healthier life.
An extremely important aspect of this short talk was to point out that climate catastrophe is not something that can happen and must be prevented. Climate catastrophe is already happening and is a fact. That's why it's so important to act individually as well as socially - if only through the organizations in which we work. Business has an important role to play here, to shape the pro-environmental attitudes of its employees by incorporating goals from the area of sustainable development into its strategy. The bottom line is that business should not so much talk about green change, but actually and consistently implement and execute it.
