We're one of the Faces of Climate Change

Today is Earth Day. There is no other place like the amazing planet we call home. Today, people the world over are celebrating the individuals, communities, organizations, and governments that take action to protect it. Every year on April 22, more than one billion people take part in Earth Day.

This year’s Earth Day theme focuses on not only the planet’s ongoing climate change that continues to negatively impact people, animals, and environments, but also on other Faces of Climate Change – those actively doing something about it.

Lindo’s is proud to be one of those faces. We genuinely care about Bermuda’s environment and the health and welfare of our entire planet. We are committed to doing our part where and whenever we can to protect the Earth for future generations.

“Climate change has very real effects on people, animals, and the ecosystems and natural resources on which we all depend. Left unchecked, they’ll spread like wildfire.

Every person who does his or her part to fix the problem
is a Face of Climate Change.”
