Reducing CO2
- Every company is able to reduce their carbon footprint to zero.
- Even smaller changes can offer a 20% reduction of carbon dioxide.
- Why not consider making some of the following changes?
Save 1 kg of CO2:
- If 20 staff turned off their computers during their lunch break.
- 4 days use of a 100W energy efficient light bulb rather than a standard bulb.
- 6 days of 400 staff recycling waste paper rather than sending to landfill.
Save 1 tonne of CO2:
- If 150 standard light bulbs are changed to energy efficient bulbs.
- A reduction in use of air-conditioning by 10% over the year.
- If all office lights were turned off at night for a year.
Save 100 tonnes of CO2:
- In one year of 27 cellular offices turned down their heating by 1 degree.
- Switch to a green electricity tarrif to save CO2 over the year.
- Save 5,000 flight miles by installing a video conference system in your office.
Save water by:
- Installing a 'save-a-flush' into the toilet cisterns.
- Washing cups together in a sink of water rather than under running taps.
- Use energy efficient dishwashers.
- Use 'grey water'.
- Replace urinals for waterless systems.
