  East Midlands Music is doing tis bit to help reduce its carbon footprint

East Midlands Music Ltd has announced that it is determined to lead the way in the music retail industry to help create a greener Britain.

Reduce footprint

Company Director Dan Smith commented: "The use of plastics and its effect on the environment has never been a more prominent subject than it is today.

That is why we have removed all plastics from our postal packaging when sending out our customer's orders. This is just one of many ways we will be reducing our impact on the environment and working towards reducing our carbon footprint too."
