A rallying cry is again rising in the Forest City - a call to beauty, reflected by such serene emerald hearts as London’s city parks - a call that asks us to see them as they should be, and act to make it so.

In the heart of the city – some wretched stretch of land lays dormant, abandoned – divested of all meaning - asleep in the midst of bleak dreams.  But where one sees desolate vacancy, a barren waste, another sees a paradise as yet grown, an opportunity “for something better,” as Founding Director Richie Bloomfield from Urban Roots explains.

But what is Urban Roots exactly?

LEN has been working towards building a target based sustainability program (TBSP) for local London businesses. The overall goal of the TBSP is to convene a network of businesses to help them set sustainability goals, assist them in achieving those goals and celebrating them when they do. The TBSP will support businesses in establishing, monitoring, and achieving personalized sustainability goals. There will be a focus on carbon, waste, and water reduction, however, other environmental initiatives will also be recognized.
