Peatland protection is a dirty but necessary job! - It pays to go green!

Peatland protection is a dirty but necessary job!
All hands on deck! In the climate change mitigation efforts, every help will come in handy - from decision-makers and businesses to every one of us. Luckily, nature is our great ally in reducing the atmospheric carbon pool as it literally traps it ... in a marsh. Peatlands are, in fact, natural CO2e sinks. However, despite their powerful powers, they are sensitive ecosystems. Protecting peatlands should therefore be one of the priorities of pro-climate action across the globe. You can join the efforts with TerGo and UNEP/GRID-Warsaw Center.

Methane – Greenhouse gases - It pays to go green!

Methane – Greenhouse gases
When thinking of climate change measures, we most often associate them with reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Yes, CO2 has the most significant impact on climate change. However, other gases are also exacerbating global warming. This is especially true since the amount of methane reached a record high in the history of measurements last year. Find out what methane is and where its emissions come from.

Melting glaciers. Now, in East Antarctica! - It pays to go green!

Melting glaciers. Now, in East Antarctica!
It was twice the size of Warsaw or roughly the size of Rome or Manhattan. The Conger shelf glacier had been unstable for some time and eventually collapsed in mid-March. This marked the first such event ever observed in the eastern part of Antarctica. What is more, it happened during - by the region's standards - record high temperatures. Many factors indicate that climate warming may be the cause. For this reason, we must remind ourselves that, wherever we are, we all influence the melting of glaciers.

TerGo has the forest planting mastered! Our campaign in Poland - It pays to go green!

TerGo has the forest planting mastered! Our campaign in Poland
We dropped everything and went to the Tuchola Forest. But don't worry - we had no intention of permanently quitting TerBit, sustainability reports, and carbon neutrality accreditation. Instead, we took our shovels to Gostycyn near Bydgoszcz for one day to plant... over 1600 trees together with the Las Na Zawsze Foundation. We wouldn't have succeeded without the enormous help of the TerGo community - thank you! Together we change the world for the better.

7 things you probably don’t know about palm oil
If you're one of those reading product labels, you know that palm oil can be found in cakes and frozen vegetables. But have you ever paid attention to the ingredients of your cosmetics? If so, you would discover palm oil even there. It is estimated that every American consumes almost 8 kg of this fat annually. Hence, it is worth knowing what is involved in its production. This is the first step towards making informed choices!

Eco, bio, or…? Organic food for thought - It pays to go green!

Eco, bio, or…? Organic food for thought
You can find this kind of shelf practically in every shop. In supermarkets, there is even a whole section! Some people avoid it from a distance; others browse through it, looking for novelties or their favourite products. The so-called organic food! I.e. products labelled as "eco", "bio" and "organic". But which ones are really eco, and which once just carry the name? The difference will soon be easier to recognise, as new regulations related to organic food labelling have come into force since January 2022.

Green building is the future? - It pays to go green!

Green building is the future?
There are more than 7.7 billion people on Earth. By 2050, we are expected to number almost 10 billion. Regardless of gender, race, origin or other features, everybody needs a place to live permanently or at least temporarily. Construction investments of all kinds are therefore vital for the environment. While striving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, one should remember the opportunities offered by the green building.
