We all have a part to play and we all need to do our bit to help educate everyone about the impacts of climate change and how we can tackle climate change. The developed world accounts for some 80 percent of total worldwide greenhouse gases whilst the developing world only accounts for 20 percent.
The first steps to reversing the effects of CO2, is that we must all take our own responsibility for reducing and zeroing our own carbon footprint and then secondly we must purchase products/services that are supplied which are carbon efficient and / or zero carbon. Pure Carbon Zero has built a carbon calculator to work out your carbon footprint, as well as providing business and government a detailed carbon footprint analysis, without this information we do not know what our contribution is to global warming. Once this information is gathered only then can we look at solutions to reducing our carbon emissions.
There are key motivators for individuals/families, public sector and businesses to play their part:
Individual/family lifestyle:
- Help the environment, and make a difference
- Reduce daily costs from gas/electricity to fuel bills
- Offset your carbon footprint to carbon zero
- Save money
Business
Businesses will find pressure from consumers and governments to provide a low carbon product or service. Importantly it must be noted that the cost of fuel, electricity, gas will increase and inflate. Therefore, moving to a low carbon economy just makes good business sense, acting now will -
- Help the environment, and make a real difference
- Reduce day to day running costs
- Generate more sales
- Increase profits
- Increase brand reputation
- Adhere to changing legislation
- Offset to counterbalance your carbon footprint
