Whilst at The British Library I photographed an example of their sustainability action. In #greatbiggreenweek it’s good to remember sharing actions is important. It normalises sustainability and motivates others to act.
A poster with a purple background and featuring a graphic of a tap with a drip which contains a picture of the sun. The text, in yellow at the top, read Sunshine on tap. The text beneath, in white, reads You’re washing your hands with water that’s been warmed up by sunshine, thanks to the solar thermal tubes on our roof.
