What we are currently doing …
We heard what you had to say and in order to prevent unnecessary waste from our membership packs , we offer a Go Green option when you sign up or renew your British Canoeing membership . For those who are yet to make the change , we ’ ve reduced the amount of paper within our packs and updated the paper and inks we use to ensure they are environmentally friendly and 100 % recyclable .
Our Go Green option makes your membership more environmentally friendly . When members choose to Go Green they are opting into receiving all of their membership information digitally . British Canoeing is also committed to ring-fencing £ 2 of the membership fee of each member who signs up to the Go Green option . So far £ 24,000 has been raised by members choosing to Go Green and this money is reinvested back to support British Canoeing ’ s Clear Access , Clear Waters campaign and fund river clean up initiatives .
What we are planning to do in 2022 …
In 2022 we have plans to update our Go Green membership option to provide more choice to our members and ensure wider promotion of the option so that more of our members are choosing to Go Green . In the coming months we also plan to reduce the quantity of printed materials , shifting to more digital communication .
