Sustainability - it's big and it's clever
Sustainability West Midlands has produced a glossary of common terms and abbreviations to help make sense of green jargon.
The guide defines a variety of big picture definitions and technical terms most commonly used on our website, addressing cross-over as buzzwords often switch from one term to the next. With changes to environmental legislation a frequent occurrence, our list contains definitions relating to recent government schemes such as 'ECO' and the 'Green Deal'.
This resource is designed to help individuals feel comfortable when confronted with unfamiliar terminology relating to sub-brands of sustainability and our seven priority areas.
