On Friday 28 June, Zoe Hilditch, Cormac Environmental Sustainability Manager and Emma Burden, Cormac Environmental Officer, visited Year 3 students at Threemilestone School to deliver a presentation on sustainability and the sustainability considerations for the construction of the Northern Access Road (NAR) project.
Threemilestone School is located only 0.8 miles from the NAR main compound, so it was a perfect opportunity to raise awareness of the scheme within the local community.
The presentation was split into two sections. The first half of the presentation focused on what sustainability means globally and the impacts of climate change from unsustainable activities. Zoe discussed sustainability in the context of Cormac and focused on generating energy from biomethane and recycling PPE. Zoe concluded with what individuals can do to live more sustainably by making simple everyday swaps.
For the second half of the presentation, Emma focused on what the NAR project was and how this was an example of sustainable development.
Emma explained what Cormac is doing to ensure we operate sustainably whilst construction of the NAR is being undertaken including mitigating impacts on local wildlife and recycling waste. The presentation was concluded with a safety message reminding pupils to never enter a construction site.
It was a great to meet the students and share some of the positive work Cormac is doing
