@elena_cirera Very true Elena! Is that something you are also doing at your workplace?
@caroline_schneider Yes, we always try to reduce carbon footprints at our workplace. We have minimized the use of printers and recorded most of the data electronically. We always consider our environment in the workplace.
How to limit your carbon footprint?
1. Consume local and seasonal products (forget strawberries in winter)
2. Limit meat consumption, especially beef.
3. Select fish from sustainable fishing.
4. Bring reusable shopping bags and avoid products with excessive plastic packaging.
5. Make sure to buy only what you need, to avoid waste.
