Last summer’s heat dome exacted a huge toll in the northeast Pacific. Hundreds of people died because of the extreme heat and its lingering effects. A perfect storm of high temperatures, low tides, and a noonday sun that scorched exposed tidal flats meant marine life suffered as well. The heatwave killed, by some accounts, one billion sea creatures. The marine toll was felt especially acutely by the US $107-million shellfish aquaculture industry in Washington State. One of the people paying close attention was Tim Smith. An aquatic ecologist and aquaculture sustainability consultant turned science teacher, Smith recognized the scale of the problem. But just a few months later, when he began working at Pioneer Middle School in Shelton, Washington, a hotbed town for shellfish farming, he recognized an opportunity.
At Asda, our approach to sustainability is based on the belief that protecting the environment and saving people money go hand in hand. We have a really clear aims – to reduce the environmental impact of our operations, the goods and services we sell, and the suppliers that make them. Packaging, it’s part and parcel of what we do. Without great packaging, many of our products wouldn’t make it to our stores, or your homes, in one piece. Some of our food wouldn’t be safe, others wouldn’t taste so good, and some things need to be packaged for extra protection as they are so delicate. We’re focused on reducing and improving it and, since 2007, we have reduced packaging weight by 27 percent. But, it isn’t just about less packaging, it’s about packaging that keeps products at their best for longer, both in our stores and your homes.
