NetRegs, a partnership between Environment Agency Wales and the other UK environmental regulators, launched a national awareness campaign last month (February 2010) which saw NetRegs joining forces with builders merchants across Wales to bring sole traders up-to-date with environmental legislation.
Throughout the week, NetRegs representatives visited four builders merchants, including Selco Builders Warehouse in Swansea and Cardiff, Caldicot Building Supplies Ltd near Newport and Thorncliffe Building Supplies in Dyserth near Rhyl, to engage with sole traders across the country.
The website which provides free environmental guidance, NetRegs netregs.gov.uk aims to help small and medium-sized businesses across Wales to understand what they need to do in order to comply with environmental law and protect the environment, which can also lead to businesses saving money.
Emma Mason, NetRegs spokesperson for Wales, said: Were visiting builders merchants across Wales to speak with traders about the importance of complying with environmental laws, and to make it easy for them to do so.
Were asking businesses and traders to sign the Plasterboard Pledge, which involves subscribing to our free monthly newsletter via the NetRegs website. Subscribing could mean they save on average £2,600 a year by saving time on keeping up to date with legislation and complying with environmental law.
By signing the Plasterboard Pledge, businesses will be kept up-to-date with new legislation or changes to environmental laws, given tips on how they can be greener and save money, and informed of future legislation to help them plan ahead.
