The National Dog Show - Sustainability
With the 4Rs in mind (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) the plan is to come up with new initiatives (and bring back some old ones) that will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our shows, whilst making our shows more sustainable financially, ultimately preserving the future of dog showing.
We have our own ideas as to what would make our shows more sustainable, but ultimately, we want your views as dog show enthusiasts. So we invite you to complete our short survey by clicking on the link below:
https://forms.office.com/e/3Q5aYK20Z5
We value the opinions of anyone who has an invested interest in dog shows and we would love to hear from you.
Thank you in advance for completing our questionnaire and we hope that together we can make a difference!
