Many people have good intentions when it comes to being
environmentally responsible. But the practicalities of life get
in the way, where we can we try to do our bit;
-Sustainable Materials (Recycled Unbleached Paper)
-100%
Renewables Electricity Tariff
Using a
Green Tariff from
Ecotricity means they purchase an
amount of energy from renewable sources (for example:
wind,
landfill gas and small scale hydro) that is equivalent to the
amount of energy we have used. This procurement practice is also
beneficial to the UK's energy Independence.

Green Energy Tariff (Ecotricity)- Electricity is sourced from renewable sources.
We don't charge mileage - Its tempting to charge 45p a mile when visiting site, but that might encourage us to drive more often, so we don't do it.
We use Recycled Paper - Printing a report is one of the most material rich activities we undertake, all paper is source from recycled feed stock, or FSC woodland.
Energy Conservation - As well as sourcing energy from renewables sources we also try to use as little as possible.
We Use Google Cloud Services - Where possible we host websites, and run cloud services on Google infrastructure as it is carbon neutral.
Yes we do:
Most Environmental Consultants are human, at least in shape and form :-) , and such they have an impact; they eat food which has a big environmental impact, they watch TV, and search the web (which uses energy). We also buy consumer products on the internet which turns out consumerist lifestyles have a very high impact.
All of the above activities use operational and embodied energy / carbon, they may well have knock on effects down the supply chain and habitats, ecology, ethics. For example the diesel we put in our cars may be partially sourced from the Niger Delta where its extraction causes habitat loss and social unrest, or cotton in our t-shirts.
What makes somebody an Environmental Consultant? Training? Education? Experience? The answer is all of these, when you speak to someone at Southwest Environmental Limited you can be sure they meet all of the afore-mentioned criteria. We aim to employ staff with a minimum of an Honors Degree and Five years experience in a relevant industry.
To be an good Environmental Consultant you need education or course, but also practical experience. This experience can be literally anything, and provided you have the aptitude to apply past experience to taught scientific knowledge (or vise verse) then you will be able to use you real world practical experience as part of the advice you offer as an Environmental Consultant. This sounds a little confusing so let me explain: Summer Work Experience as teenager working on a Cattle Farm - This would provide practical insight when you were writing reports on odour or nutrient management. You can think back to your time on the farm. You may think that time on the farm is not relevant, but you know what a farm looks like, where animals poop, what it resembles (solid or liquid), what happens when it rains, what happens when it is sunny. All this accidental experience is useful.
It is also worth noting that education can be had entirely on the job. 10 to 15 years spent working in the waste sector having left school at 16 could result in membership to a professional institution for example and perhaps Chartered Scientist, a very worthwhile accolade.
So who are Environmental Consultants Interested in helping, our Clients or the Environment? The answer is both.
But we understand that environmental obligations are an expense, that is why you will find that we offer competitive rates, and will not over complicate our reporting processes in order to increase our revenue. Business aside it can be said that Environmental Consultants are generally passionate about the environment, it is this combination between passion and understanding that allows us to do what is best for our clients and the environment.
We often find that some of the compliance issues we deal with seam over complicated, and so we try to make this known to the regulators of the regulating body (The EA). Some years ago we made contact with our local MP to make him aware that composting regulations are over complicated, and then again some years later to suggest that they are not complicated enough (the the grounds of plastic contamination).
Below are a selection of links to places on the web, where our work is discussed. Mostly you will find "Southwest Environmental Limited" listed in planning reports or consultee responses on planning portals, or other governmental portals, and occasional referenced in academic papers.
