Install solar panels
Installing solar panels at the office is a simple and effective way of reducing greenhouse
gas emissions. As we all know our climate now a days is really hot. In order to conserve
energy that can also help the environment is installing solar panels. Any roof can utilize
solar power, but not every building has access to other forms of clean energy, such as
geothermal or wind turbine technology. In the past five years, the soft costs of solar panel
installation§ have been reduced by 70%, meaning it’s cheaper than ever for companies to
use solar power to their advantage.
2. Reduce Waste
Another strategy to reduce the climate footprint of a business is to reduce the amount of
waste generated. Whether it is the industrial waste of a large company or the paper waste
of a SME of the tertiary sector, all companies produce waste.
Avoiding disposable cups, stirrers, and capsules for the coffee machine and giving
kitchen crockery instead, reducing the number of prints, reusing papers as drafts, sort
waste for recycling correctly. Can be really improve the environment.
It’s not always easy to cut back on energy consumption, but an easy way to help the
environment is to make sure that the energy you do use is clean.
Plus, Google’s Project Sunroof§ can help businesses identify how much they can save by
analyzing how much sun a specific roof will get, simplifying the decision process for
businesses that are on the fence.
