Even well-meaning businesses can be a significant source of pollution. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Sustainable business practices reduce your carbon footprint and help you to better serve your community at the same time. Many of them even have cost-saving potential. 

Travel accounts for 8% of global carbon emissions, according to a 2018 study published in Nature Climate Change.

Given these shocking figures, it’s clear that we need to take steps to reduce our impact on the planet and switch to a more sustainable way of running our businesses before it’s too late.

If we want to protect the world from further harm, revive the travel industry and reach the governments net zero carbon target, we need to focus more closely on promoting sustainable travel. Here are some easy yet effective ways travel businesses can do just that.

While working from home has in itself helped cut down elements of our environmental impact by eliminating CO2 produced from our daily commutes and office energy usage, there is plenty more that we can do to lower our footprint at home.

In this blog, I will provide 8 eco-friendly and cost-saving solutions that you can incorporate into your daily routine to become carbon neutral while working from home!

This makes the tourism sector a bigger polluter than the construction industry. While some emissions are unavoidable while travelling, there are plenty of ways to make your holidays greener. With this in mind, here are some of the top eco-friendly transport options in 2020.
