Do regular digital cleaning sessions to get rid of unnecessary files / emails

Instead of sending closing emails (such as thank you, welcome etc), you can just react to emails. Albeit small it can help reduce carbon footprint.

From a Product Supply perspective: We should look to improve and align our demand forecasting across the business; better forecasts help to minimise waste and optimise our resources across the supply chain. More efficient logistics mean we get the most economical fuel consumption and lowest emissions we can from transporting our goods. Lower inventory levels could mean less warehouse space and energy usage.

From a product design point of view the illustrations and photos we choose to include in our products could more effectively showcase visions of a sustainable future by visually representing concepts like circular economies, renewable energy, and eco-friendly practices e.g.

Circular Economy:

Images could showcase how materials are reused, recycled, and restored, minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency.

Renewable Energy:

Depicting solar panels on rooftops, wind turbines in the landscape, or hydroelectric dams could visually convey the shift towards renewable energy sources.

Green Buildings:

Images could showcase more buildings with green roofs, vertical gardens, and energy-efficient designs, demonstrating how architecture can be environmentally responsible.

Sustainable Urban Spaces:

Images could depict more urban areas with parks, bike lanes, public transportation, and green spaces, promoting sustainable urban development.

Free resources for teachers of English to teach climate change - 40% aren't confident and we have thousands of teachers worldwide. We can do a whole free lesson, blending English teaching with climate change knowledge and awareness, in addition to what is in our courses. Plus, we can share with any teachers, even if they aren't already a customer.

Coherently communicate the importance/urgency of the climate emergency (without overwhelming. Fine line).

Make it clear for people and within product what the biggest drivers of climate change are, and what the most impactful things are that we can do.

Partner with organisations like Dell or Google so that we can provide bundle solutions: digital based learning resources and assessments with compatible devices to schools. To access this they need to attend a mandatory training programme so that they lean more about carbon footprint and sustainability in the classroom.

Car sharing platform, to easily find verified colleagues living in the same areas as you to reduce single person driving (and help Cambridge's chockablock roads!)
