Our daily actions consume energy‚ which as a bi–product produces carbon dioxide emissions‚ for example driving a car‚ travelling by train or flying. In the UK alone we produce 550 Million tons of Co2 per year of which transport accounts for about 28%. With increased pressure put upon businesses to reduce carbon emissions Mobix offers a solution.
By using teleconferencing solutions like 2Talk, 2Buzz or Web2talk effectively you can make significant carbon reductions. By setting up a teleconference‚ you save the need to travel which will in turn reduces your carbon impact. The benefits do not stop there‚ consider the reduction on transport costs and the increased productivity all in addition to reducing your businesses carbon footprint.
Consider this example
A regular business trip from London to Manchester uses on average produces 63kg of carbon dioxide traveling by car‚ 36kg by train and 166kg by plane. This can be mitigated by creating a teleconferencing.
Conferencing and the Climate
Carbon Offsetting
Mobix Ltd has‚ in order to further environmental commitments‚ partnered with Carbon Impacts a leading carbon offset agency. Carbon offsetting involves calculating your total Co2 emissions and then purchasing the equivalent amount of credits from emission reduction projects for example Carbon Impacts. These projects prevent or remove the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide elsewhere.
¨Due to the fact that greenhouse gases have a long life–span and tend to mix evenly in the atmosphere it doesn't matter where gases are emitted in the world: the effect on climate change is the same. To make up for unavoidable emissions increases, e.g. driving to a meeting‚ equivalent emissions reductions can be made elsewhere‚ meaning that the overall effect is zero.¨ – Defra
¨…Encouragement and assistance must be given to individuals‚ organizations and companies to offset. Credible offsetting can have a useful …role in mitigating current levels of (carbon) emissions…¨ – House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee July 2007
