Enjoy your Christmas break guys! So well deserved! 💕🐾
♻️Our Climate Care journey is progressing, and gee are we learning a lot! 🔎
❓Did you know that – An estimated 1 MILLION sea creatures are killed by marine waste every year…🐟🐠
🗑️This week a few of our superstar staff members conducted a waste audit to ensure that we were maximising our recycling potential & correctly separating all the waste generated in our clinic 🗑️
We filtered through all the gross (& extremely gross) 💉🩸💩 contents of our bins with our bare (gloved) hands to get to the bottom of our waste habits, which our results were extremely pleasing.
Our climate champions are now underway with research on more ways we can recycle different items used for our animal’s healthcare needs ♻️📚
Way to go team!

That is an impressive level of commitment to the environment given some of the absolutely disgusting stuff you guys get through your doors. Alot of people wouldn't have wanted to touch it the first time, let alone after its had a chance to mix and simmer 🤢
Omg that is gross! Even I wouldn't do that 🤣
