The ozone hole: a story that inspires eco-action! - It pays to go green!

The ozone hole: a story that inspires eco-action!
Suppose you remember the 1980s, Madonna's hits, and new episodes of Dynasty. In that case, you also probably remember reports about the harmfulness of aerosols and refrigerants in fridges and freezers and discussions about the need to protect the ozone layer. Thanks to the global action taken at the time, the localised disappearance of the ozone layer, referred to as the ozone hole, has been halted, making it one of the greatest successes in the history of transnational cooperation on climate and environmental protection. We should keep this in mind as we are facing the next challenge right now!

Carbon footprint of online shopping – how to handle it?
How often do you add things you don't even want to buy to the shopping basket? Have you thought: never? Well, the facts are that this happens every time you go shopping. The basket ends up with the items on your shopping list together with kilograms of carbon footprint. When processing your order, these emissions escape directly into the atmosphere. The good news is that retailers and consumers can zero out the carbon footprint of online shopping. We can turn e-commerce into an e(co)-merce!

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.

It’s good to be friends with trees - It pays to go green!

It’s good to be friends with trees
They do a lot of good for us. They produce the oxygen we need to live. Furthermore, they absorb carbon dioxide, which we emit into the atmosphere. And they store it inside them for many years. They are our friends! So, you might ask – why not plant enough trees to completely balance out global CO2 emissions? The answer is not as simple as it seems.

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.
