For Meaningful Change Change, Start By Building A Culture of Sustainability

To make a real impact with your sustainability strategy, you will need buy-in from all levels of your organisation. A great first step to fostering this culture is hosting a companywide sustainability town hall. Make sure to leave time for questions and brainstorming. This will help you to gauge interest and gather ideas. Next, nominate a sustainability lead and put together a green team (sustainability committee), made up of passionate volunteers from different departments. Whether you are just starting out or already are working towards targets, having a green team can make a big difference. Meet regularly to identify opportunities for improvement and to develop actionable solutions.

Turn Off Your Camera To Reduce Your Videoconferencing Carbon Footprint By Up To 96%

Turning off your camera reduces the carbon footprint of a videoconferencing session by up to 96%, according to a study by Perdue University. Just one hour of videoconferencing or video streaming emits 150 grams to 1kg of CO2. It also requires 2-12 litres of water and demands a land area adding up to about the size of an iPad Mini. This carbon footprint adds up to an enormous global footprint. For instance, Zoom hosts 55 billion hours every year.
