The idea of ecosystems and the four system conditions should guide our efforts for an ever-improving environment. Through environmental work, Ume\u00e5 Folkets Hus takes the responsibility to strive to reach a more ecological and sustainable society.<\/p>\n<p>1. 1. In a sustainable society, nature is not subjected to a systematic concentration increase of substances from the bedrock. This means that we have to redirect our operations and drastically reduce our consumption of oil, metals and minerals. 2. 2. In a sustainable society, nature is not subjected to a systematic concentration increase of substances from society\u2019s productions. This means that we must not spread substances such as hard-to-decompose pesticides into nature. These artificial substances cannot be broken down natually and they poison water, ground and animals. Emissions of natural but harmful substances, such as nitrogen oxides, must be reduced sharply. 3. 3. In a sustainable society, nature is not subjected to systematic displacement through over-take or manipulation. This means, for example, that we must not indiscriminately cut down forests or build roads and cities on fertile farmland, because trees and plants are a necessary part of the ecosystem. 4.\u00a0In a sustainable society, the management of resources is so effective and fair that human needs are met everywhere. This means that we must distribute the earth&#8217;s resources fairly so that the entire world population can live well. We must stop wasting energy and materials. We also need to recycle products and recover materials from end-of-life products.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.106&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Ume\u00e5 Folkets Hus will:<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 Lessen our environmental impact in regards to resource consumption and transports as well as emissions to air and water. \u2022 Contribute to the elevation of the environmental competency of our staff as well as our suppliers and guests. \u2022 Take environmental aspects into consideration for purchases and procurements. \u2022 Abide by applicable laws and regulations. \u2022 Maintain an environmental work which is open, continuous and preventive. \u2022 Enlighten our guests and suppliers of our environmental work though information.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|0px|69px|0px&#8221; prev_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243;][et_pb_row custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|30px|0px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.92&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.92&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>We compensate for the climate together<\/h3>\n<p>As a part of our work in creating an environmentally friendly meeting venue we do climate compensation for each of our whole-day guests. Climate compensating a guest at Ume\u00e5 Folkets Hus costs 2kr\/day per person (according to the estimates by sustainability consultants at Esam). When you book a whole-day conference with us you are paying a 1kr per person fee and we do the same which doubles the effect of your environment compensation. Welcome to book your conference with us.
