CARBON EMISSIONS ARE LIKE CHOLESTEROL
In seminars around the world, I have talked about how carbon emissions are analogous to “fat” in a diet… It is something we don’t want, but is often an unavoidable part of our daily lives.

The same is true with carbon emissions… fossil fuels have been our “bad” habit. We can consciously wean ourselves off in a planned manner, or we may have to hastily quit due to supply shortages, energy and/or carbon price spikes, climate impacts, wars or any number of other reasons which we cannot yet see.

How Do I Start A Going Green Business?
The recently coined term, “going green”, has become a well-known household expression in the past few years. Essentially, going green means adapting your lifestyle in an attempt to do as little damage as possible to the environment. Homes have begun going green by doing things like having compost boxes so there is less garbage in the landfills.

Getting a whole business to go green is a little more difficult and definitely requires more work in order for it to actually be effective. A greener workplace involves everyone in the company, not just an individual effort.
