Climate emergencies are the greatest challenges of our time, but they can also mean opportunities. Researchers point out that, with measures to curb the advance of greenhouse gas emissions and control temperatures, the savings generated could reach $144 trillion, thanks to the climate damage avoided and the health treatment costs recurrent in this scenario.
To put your company in the lead, making it a reference for the surrounding community, we have listed actions that will make a difference in your city and all over the planet:
Take care of water: if the company already has a program for the conscious use of this fundamental resource for life, how about sharing it with the community? It is possible to hold lectures that teach tips on how to use water responsibly, turning off taps when brushing teeth, washing hands or soaping dishes, collecting rainwater, reusing water from washing clothes to clean sidewalks.
Create a seedling planting project: trees help control the temperature, mitigate the effects of climate extremes, and ensure more humidity in the air. If there is a space in your company, how about planting trees? They are natural CO2 filters and help control the emission of this gas into the atmosphere. If you lack space, another option is to adopt a square, or even forests! The company can be part of projects that encourage the planting and maintenance of native forests and permanent protection areas, essential for our survival. The residents of the surrounding area can be invited to participate.
Encourage alternative transportation: to reduce CO2 emissions, it is crucial to encourage your employees to adopt less polluting means of transportation. Good options are collective rides, after all one car on the street is better than five cars going to the same place. Another possibility is to encourage the use of bicycles in the area. For this, install bike racks or even shared bikes in the neighborhood to facilitate the transportation of those who choose to use this mode.
