To prevent serious global consequences, we need to make drastic cuts in the amounts of greenhouse gases we’re producing. This is going to mean commitment from us as individuals and our governments, but how do our workplaces fit in?
Over half of carbon emissions are work-related, and British companies waste £1billion of energy every year, so there is huge scope to act. Workplaces, because of their larger size, are usually better placed than individuals to install cost-effective measures – particularly by investing in renewable energy.
Businesses and organisations produce 93% of all the UK's waste, so whatever you do to at home to cut down the amount of rubbish you’re sending to landfill, there’s the potential for a much bigger impact in the workplace.
