Reducing your Carbon Footprint

Why is it important to refuce your carbon footprint and how do we as a company make it possible for all our employees to reduce their footprint without any effort?

Climate change is a global issue that will impact every aspect of the UK’s economy, society and environment, threatening our well being and that of our children. We have already seen more intense extreme weather events such as dangerous heat waves; floods and coastal erosion; storms; wildfires; droughts; and severe declines in species biodiversity (on Earth and in the oceans). Unless we take action to reduce CO2 emissions now, these effects will become more likely and have a greater impact when they occur.

The United Kingdom Climate Projections was published in June 2009 and is the most comprehensive report of its kind ever produced. It shows that in the UK we face warmer, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers, with more drought, more intense heat waves, flooding and sea level rise.

In future, rainfall could significantly decrease in the summer (particularly in the south east) and significantly increase in the winter (particularly in the north west). Heavier winter rainfall is expected to become more frequent, potentially causing more flooding.

We can help and turn it in to an advantage for you!

By using regeneration to drive local employment there will be no need to drive far distances every day to get to work. This is good for our enviroment and segnificantly reduces your carbon footprint. In addition, imagine how much you would save on fuel cost!

If you got to work in London every day for work with your van your average carbon footprint per year is 6.41 tonnes of CO2!*

If you work local every day your average carbon footprint per year is reduced to 1.07 tonnes of CO2.**
