In this little movie you will hear about Eric’s realistic approach to getting things done; his concerns about global warming and his idea for a cooler world.
Eric Raymundo, an engineer and environmental practitioner in the Philippines. Eric caught the project attention because he is such an enthusiastic follower of the GLOBAL IDEAS project. Eric’s enthusiasm is rooted in his deep concern for nature and a sustainable way of living. A former scuba diver, Eric now consults businesses in the Philippines on how to save energy and resources; eventually he wants to build a network of zero carbon tourism resorts in the Philippines. His work is part of the Switch-Asia project, funded by the European commission and carried out in collaboration with the Center for Appropriate Technology at Vienna University of Technology.

Dorset Cereals makes every effort to minimize their impact on the environment. All electricity is purchased from renewable sources and they recycle all their card and plastic waste. They also generate a small amount of food waste (spillages and similar) and rather than send this to landfill, they give it to local farmers. Living and working in such a beautiful part of Dorset is a constant reminder that they are obligated as a company to look after our environment.
The Dorset Cereals want MOREwoods!
Dorset Cereals is delighted to announce that over the next two years they have joined forces with the Woodland Trust to help local people plant over 8000 trees across the UK, as part of their support of the MOREwoods project. The MOREwoods scheme, which is run by the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity the Woodland Trust, aims to increase native tree cover in the UK by encouraging people to plant trees on their own, or community owned land. Over the next few months Dorset Cereals will be working closely with the Woodland Trust to raise awareness of the project and details can be found on their website and packs.

Chevron develops energy with a commitment to protecting the environment. Their workforce embodies this commitment by developing new projects in an environmentally sound manner and continually improving the environmental performance of existing operations.
