28/01 International Day of Reduction of CO2 Emissions — 3 Ideas to Reduce CO2 Emissions
To celebrate International Reducing CO2 Emissions Day, we're sharing three top tips to help your business reduce its CO2 emissions.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind - When contemplating CO2 emissions, we often focus solely on owned or controlled equipment like machinery. However, have you assessed the emissions generated by your support team, staff, and suppliers? Consider broadening your perspective to understand your holistic contribution. You might be surprised by the impact when taking a comprehensive view.
Sharing is Caring - for the Planet! Consumer consumption contributes to approximately 60% of CO2 emissions. Instead of impulsively purchasing items that might end up unused, explore alternatives. With digital connectivity, consider borrowing items or tools from your community. Not only can this save money but also reduce your carbon footprint significantly.
Source Locally - In a globalized world, goods often travel across countries before reaching consumers. While imported items might seem cost-effective initially, the environmental cost of transportation is substantial. Maxiloda recommends prioritizing local purchases whenever feasible to reduce unnecessary transport emissions.
By implementing these practices, your business can make meaningful strides in reducing CO2 emissions and contributing to a greener, more sustainable future.
