World Earth Day 2025

This World Earth Day at The Dolphin Poole, we’re partnering with Extinction Rebellion Bournemouth Christchurch Poole to bring greater awareness on how our lifestyle choices can impact the planet. We’ll be exploring the hidden cost of fast fashion, the benefits of renewable energy, and the dangers of plastic consumption, as well as other hot topics. 

Make a pledge to be kinder to the planet and take a selfie for your socials to hold yourself accountable! Remember to tag @thedolphinpoole and @xr_bcp in your selfies. 

Join us for a FREE educational day to learn more about reducing our environmental impact and taking better care of our home! 

We’ll be continuing the fun with a sustainable fashion event with Tailoresque in GATHER on 23rd April 2025. Learn more about Tailoresque’s sustainable fashion event here!

Why World Earth Day matters to us 

Here at The Dolphin, we’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint and operating sustainably in all areas of operations. Our current sustainable practices include: 

• 100% of our waste is diverted from landfill 
• Expanding our recycling streams to include glass, cardboard and even WEEE waste 
• Encouraging local biodiversity with our rooftop wildflower garden and pesticide-free vegetable allotment 
• Installation of LED lighting and smart meters to improve our energy efficiency 
• Reducing lighting throughout the centre to reduce energy consumption 

We encourage our retailers to implement similar policies whenever possible. Lots of The Dolphin’s retailers have made changes to reduce the use of single-use plastics, maximise their energy efficiency, and invest in sustainable manufacturing processes.
