As #EarthMonth comes to a close, the Paramount UK Office of Global Inclusion hosted two incredible events aimed at fostering #sustainability and #creativity.   👖 Denim Repair Workshop, led by Traid, empowered us to rethink fashion's impact, with the knowledge that it takes a staggering 3,800 liters of water to produce a single pair of denim jeans. Through hands-on learning, we discovered the art of salvaging our beloved denim, reducing waste and water consumption.   🪴 Succulent Terrarium Workshop, guided by Jar and Fern, reminded us of the delicate beauty of our planet's ecosystems. Crafting our own miniature landscapes, we found joy in nurturing life and fostering a deeper connection with nature.   We aim to honor Earth Day's spirit every day through mindful actions and #sustainable choices.   #WeAreParamount #ZeroWaste #ESG
