Surely reducing your personal carbon footprint won’t save the planet.
Plenty of people are saying it and the rest are thinking it, as we browse the energy efficient light bulbs in the supermarket, unplug our plasma TV at the wall, or leave the car and walk to the shops instead.
What’s the point in cutting our carbon footprint when more than a billion Chinese and much of the rest of the world are jacking up their emissions, as if there was no tomorrow?
It’s a fair question. After all, the atmosphere doesn’t distinguish between a tonne of Asian carbon dioxide and a tonne emitted by Australians.
So as the rest of the world carries on regardless, is the savings from recycling your drink cans or insulating your roof, more than just a drop in the ocean? If you or your company just stopped trying, would the planet notice?
Toward Sustainability is intended to enhance our understanding of how sustainability impacts on our customers as well as our own organizations.
- Why sustainability matters
- How you and your companies can take the first step
- The sins of green washing
- The (not so) easy 8 step formula to becoming a more sustainable enterprise using Finsbury Green as a case study.
