Eine intakte Umwelt aus Verantwortung für die Zukunft
German to English
Marketing
Environment & Ecology
This is the heading/slogan for a 12-page section from a (kind of) corporate social responsibility report. This section describes the company's environmental activities. My brain has stopped working completely and I can't think of a snappy (or even plausible) expression. Any suggestions much appreciated!
By the way is it just me, or perhaps a British thing, that an intact environment sounds terrible before the noun, but fine after a verb (e.g.keeping the environment intact)?
