<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We support Planet Ark, Australia’s most<\/strong> trusted environmental foundation and through them, we are donating hundreds of tree seedlings per year on behalf of our clients. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By giving back to the environment, we are returning resources to the earth and working towards the restoration of balance and prosperity for our planet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To further encourage positive change, we are affiliated with two organisations who are able to provide libraries with two unique and sustainable options for recycling weeded books and saving them from landfill.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first option involves a recycling option in which the organisation will pick up weeded books to be shredded and recycled.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second option involves donating weeded books to a cause that has established publicly maintained street library facilities which allow all members of the community access to reading material in their local neighborhood.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a project underway which involves a Peter Pal purpose-built building which will be fitted with all the latest, most sustainable facilities. We have all the plans in place and are currently waiting on approval from the council to make our plan a reality.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our new building will include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar panels to provide sustainable energy throughout the entire building; sustainable water tank system; energy efficient climate control system; LED lights which consume up to 80% less electricity than incandescent; and double glazed windows to maintain temperature in the building with minimal energy wastage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pal acknowledges the importance of a rich and cultured education and we know that any good education begins from grass-roots. To encourage this, we donate books to Pimpama State School on a regular basis to increase the availability of a wide range of learning material for all students.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In donating reading material to Pimpama state school, we are contributing towards the goal of quality education by providing young people with diverse reading materials to access in their school library.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Leading the way through sustainable day-to-day business practices
<\/h4>
\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Peter Pal Sustainability Project, we promote sustainable business practices both within Peter Pal and within the business operations of library services partnered with us.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Covering of library books is one of the major areas within which positive impacts can be made through thoughtful revision of the type and amount of covering materials used for specific collections.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Library services partnered with Peter Pal are encouraged to consult with Peter Pal personnel and collaborate with us to devise more sustainable solutions to covering requirements.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Suggestions for sustainable alternatives listed below are regularly discussed with Peter Pal clientele:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
