World’s Best Fresh PREMIUM CHERRIES from Tas’Mania, Available in Hong Kong

From now until January 26th –  for only four weeks per year – we are offering Hong Kong our gorgeous bounty of Tas’Mania cherries, picked and graded for impurities, blemishes and splits, then packed and dispatched to HK within 72 hours so that they taste just picked! While supplies last...we are waiting for your call at 2555 0478. Or please visit our website at www.tasmaniafresh.com

WHY are Tas’Mania Premium Cherries the world’s best? Tasmania, the island state of Australia, lies 40 degrees south of the equator south-east of mainland Australia in the temperate zone of the southern hemisphere. A land of dramatic coastlines, rugged mountains, spectacular wilderness and sparkling highland lakes, Tasmania's isolation protects it from the many pests and diseases that blight crops elsewhere, thus making for more natural growing conditions free from many pesticides.

Our bountiful, beautiful cherries are AWARD WINNING WITH HERITAGE – grown on a family run orchard. The Reid family has been growing cherries for five generations – over 150 years of cherry experience. In fact, in 2013 they were awarded Australian Farmer of the Year, and Reid Fruits has long been accredited to GlobalGap – meaning world recognized quality.

Tas’Mania staff nurture the trees through the spring to produce the highest quality cherries, private bee hives are placed in the orchards to ensure best pollination, and helicopters are employed above the trees to protect the fruit - driving down warmer air during Spring frosts and drying the fruit after rain storms.

For us, Premium means glossy, ruby-skinned, large, firm fruit with green stem and tight skin. High brix content means the juiciest, sweetest fruit, and the longer spring days of Tasmania means slower ripening so that the acid sugar balance is perfect, producing the best tasting cherries. For you, this means a treat of unparalleled quality in Hong Kong for family, friends, and Chinese New Year’s festivities!

Accor Asia-Pacific Planet 21 Shows You Unique Ways to Green Your Business

Have you decided to green your business? Excellent decision, but where do you start? While recycling paper, using less electricity, and carpooling may be obvious sustainable options for some, Accor’s Planet 21 program offers more creative options for your business.

Office decor is the last thing people think of when it comes to sustainable business. However, repurposing items to liven up your office is a great way to give back to the environment. Some Accor hotels reuse old tires as pots to hold fresh plants. Old bricks and wood can also be reused for tables, pots, and wall decorations. Looking for something a little more green? Check out Accor Novotel Auckland Airport’s living wall. This wall is adorned with native fauna, creating a beautiful aesthetic and bringing added benefits as well. Living walls are said to clean indoor air quality in the office space, especially of pollution that stems from printers.


Another unique way to green up the workplace is to offer sustainable food options. Does your office have a deli? Build sandwiches with free range meats and locally grown produce. This lowers your carbon footprint and supports your local community. Do you offer vending machines? Keep them stocked with sustainable and healthy choices. Eliminating water bottles from the workplace will greatly reduce your carbon footprint too. Water bottles produce up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste every year. Instead, stock your office with reusable mugs, cups, and water bottles.


Greening your business is easy with the help of Accor’s Planet 21 sustainability program. Get more tips and advice at our blog: http://accorplanet21.tumblr.com/. Do you have any creative green business ideas to share? Let us know online.

Tips on How to Market Your Business Sustainably with Accor Planet 21

  

Running a green business gives your company a competitive edge. Today, consumers care more about going green than they ever have. While offering green products and services is the ultimate goal, there are other ways to lower your impact on the environment along the way. One of the easiest ways to do this is to market your business sustainably. Using the seven pillars of Accor’s Planet 21 program is a great way to get started in setting your sustainability goals. Here are a few tips for your business to try.

Lower your business’ carbon footprint by buying your marketing materials locally. Not only will this require less transportation and less CO2 emissions, this will also save your company shipping costs.


Take it a step further by printing all your marketing materials on recycled paper. Pamphlets, fliers, posters, and mailings can all be printed on recycled material and is in line with Accor’s Nature pillar. Let consumers know that you’re being eco-friendly by stamping all your marketing materials with “printed on recycled materials.” You can also print a friendly reminder to consumers to recycle on the bottom or back of your documents. Instead of printing and mailing newsletters, have consumers subscribe to a monthly email newsletter.

Recycling may seem like common sense when it comes to being green, but are you offering marketing materials that encourage green behavior? Instead of handing out disposable water bottles with your name on them, opt for reusable water bottles or mugs. When giving out food or hosting events with snacks, buy from local sustainable producers. Not only does this show consumers that you are dedicated to being green, it also introduces them to ways in which they can be more green with you!

Each small initial your business utilizes adds up to a huge impact on the environment. For more tips on how to green your business, visit Accor Planet 21’s blog at http://accorplanet21.tumblr.com/.

Accor PLANET 21 Programme Encourages Sustainable Winter Activities

Accor New Zealand is working hard to incorporate sustainable practices to all of their hotels with the PLANET 21 programme. Using the 21 commitments and 7 pillars, they actively work towards building environmentally friendly hotels and communities with employees and guests alike. With the goals of PLANET 21 in mind, Accor New Zealand encourages both locals and tourists to remember sustainability during the winter season while enjoying activities with family and friends. 
 


With Accor hotels, and the great deals that are available, it is easy to indulge in your favourite activities while saving on room rates. Accor New Zealand has strongly boosted the sustainability of their hotels with the help of the PLANET 21 programme. That makes travelling this season to your number one snowy peak for a weekend of skiing easy, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly. Always remember to be responsible and respectful of the environment on the slopes.

Enjoy a weekend of winter hiking while enjoying a sustainable stay at an Accor New Zealand hotel. Hiking not only leaves a small carbon footprint, but also gives you an opportunity to appreciate nature and learn more about it. There are tons of beautiful snow dusted hikes to enjoy near many different Accor New Zealand locations. Be sure to layer up in extra cold locations and bring something to carry your garbage and recycling in. Local wild life will thank you!

 

Stay warm this winter guilt-free courtesy of Accor New Zealand. Since 2011, Accor has reduced energy use by 5.5%. They are steadily working towards reducing CO2 emissions by 10% by 2015 and have increased the use of renewable energy everywhere they can.
