One Planet York

First York has backed York’s new One Planet York initiative. This sees the operator join forces with City of York Council to pledge their support towards creating a more sustainable and resilient city. The project aims to reduce the amount of resources used in the city, which is currently at an unsustainable level, according to the Council. It focuses on ten key principles, including: zero waste, zero carbon, sustainable transport, health and wellbeing, land use and wildlife and sustainable food and water. The operator has already taken a positive step towards these issues, running electric buses.
