In February, a team of 20 volunteers from Green Register members PDP London worked with the charity Trees for Cities to plant 104 saplings, creating a new urban woodland in London whilst offsetting their paper usage from 2015 - 2016.
By doing this, they hope to show that architects can and should do their part to reduce climate change. One way is by reducing the excessive use of paper.
Michelle Sanchez, the Head of PDP London's Sustainability Team explains the importance of their initiative in an excellent article.
