Hey there,

What is your impact on the planet?

In light of the ongoing discussions and negotiations in Glasgow at the UN Climate Summit this week, we wanted to highlight how we as individuals can contribute to fighting the climate crisis and the impact we have in our everyday lives on our beautiful planet.

Apart from ambitious emissions reductions and keeping 1.5 degrees within reach, one of the conference's main goals is to work together to deliver. 

Together we can contribute, and I invite you to check out these ​​Six everyday things you can do to help stop global warming.

For some extra points, watch this Ted talk, where UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed brings a new perspective on the journey to net-zero and invites us to reimagine what the journey to net-zero could look like with the Great Green Wall.

"We are, after all, the greatest problem solvers to have ever existed on Earth. If working apart, we are a force powerful enough to destabilise our planet. Surely working together, we are powerful enough to save it.”

– Sir David Attenborough, Broadcaster and natural historian.
