Home Working = Less Carbon
Since we all work from home we don’t produce emissions commuting to work nor do we need to heat and power a large office. The only emissions we produce are from the energy consumption of our work devices and the minimal travel to client meetings and events. In total these activities generate 607kg of carbon per year according to the Carbon Trust’s carbon calculator.
To put into perspective how minimal our impact is, according to the Government all business activity in the UK generates 59.4 million tonnes of carbon emissions per year. Ditly is less than a drop in the ocean in comparison, but we know that’s not enough! Keep reading to see how we’re combating our carbon emissions.
Our Forests
At Ditly, global warming is always on our minds and the impact it will have on our later lives, our children’s lives and our grandchildren’s lives. Time has run out, the changes are already permanent and are already causing devastating extreme weather events.
We have to do everything we can to stop the clock on climate change and make good for the years of damage we’ve done to our planet. We’re only a small company so we acknowledge we won’t be able to do this on our own but we can make a contribution to the cause. That’s why every year we’ve set a target to plant at least 48 trees in areas that have been plagued with deforestation; but our aims are so much bigger than that. We want to plant forests!
