The world is quickly moving towards unpredictable weather phenomenon, crazy natural calamities and global warming. All of us are directly affected by the impact of these changes in our environment. However, it is never too late to start taking action and doing our share for the environment.

Move away from useless travels

Sales meetings, pitch meetings and other office meetings don’t necessarily have to happen in a physical location. Air travel and even traveling locally could increase your business’ carbon footprint. Opt for meetings over Skype or switch to business meeting software like Zoom to conduct meetings over the cloud. These products are incredibly efficient and save overall business costs, working hours, headaches and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time. If traveling for a meeting is unavoidable, then you may want to learn more about how companies such as Cool Effect are able to help you to offset your carbon emissions.

Choose efficient lighting

Office lighting racks up the biggest portion of your electricity bills. To reduce your office’s carbon footprint and to save money, install energy-efficient bulbs like LEDs which have long lives and use 80% less power than older style bulbs. Not only this, you can also get an increasingly popular occupancy sensors installation so that your lights turn on and off automatically when a sensor detects someone coming into or leaving a room. This will prevent rooms from being unnecessarily lit all day and night when people forget to turn the lights off, helping you to save both money and the planet.

Engage the Energy Saving Trust (EST)

If your business has a fleet of vehicles, you can choose to make it greener. Install GPS on all vehicles and collect data to see if vehicles have been using inefficient routes. Additionally, go for EST Green Fleet Reviews. They are usually available for free and can help you identify new ways to reduce emissions, expenditure and fuel costs. Eventually, it would be helpful in reducing your carbon emissions.

Use these simple and efficient methods to ensure that your business is collaborating to a greener, more sustainable environment. Encourage other businesses in your region to follow the same methods.
