Going Green

2/10/2013

 
I’ve set 3 environmental goals for the business this year, and I’m pleased to say that I am making good progress in addressing them.  The first is quite simple, to understand my carbon footprint.   Having understood it I then want to measure it, and finally having understood and measured it I want to look at how I can best reduce or offset it.

 My main carbon impact results from travelling around in my car.  I’ve reduced my mileage considerably in the last 4 years, from around 25k per annum to about 12.5k per annum and I am being very careful to consider my driving technique to minimise emissions.  Sadly my car doesn’t have the very green stop:start system which my husband’s does but I am pleased that with careful driving I can achieve a decent mileage per gallon (yes I’m still firmly an imperial sort of a girl).  I still, however, need to look at all those short hop journeys where I could get the bike out and that’s another goal!   

Looking at various websites I’ve identified my carbon footprint and I am now in a position to offset it, so by the time this blog goes live I hope that Elliem Consulting has become a carbon neutral business.  What are you doing to reduce your carbon footprint?
