Your carbon
footprint is the direct impact your actions and lifestyle have
on the environment in terms of carbon dioxide emissions. All
these actions contribute to accelerating global warming and
climate change.
Climate change is the
worldwide gradual temperature increase due to change in the Earth's
atmosphere. These changes have been caused by the increase of
greenhouse gases being released into our atmosphere.
While we understand that the best way to help our environment is to
reduce the amount of carbon emissions we produce, we also realise that
in the Scientific Research Industries this is not always easy as you
require high powered instrumentation to assist your studies.
Therefore, in combination with a program to assist you to reducing carbon
emissions in your laboratory, we would like to help you reduce the effect
of the carbon emissions you can't reduce.
The best way for
you to help our environment is to try and reduce the daily
emissions your activities produce. Where it is not possible to
completely reduce the emissions you produce, you can make the
choice to offset those remaining emissions by planting trees (or
through the purchase of carbon credits). Either way is
simple and easy to get started, so act now to create a sustainable long-term environment for our
children and their children to grow up in.
