I just caught up with a friend who runs an environment consultation, basically, he will come round and tell you to turn your heating down, and your lights off!
I'm proud of the results I got getting the local council to start using bio-diesel, (make it yourself) but these victories become history very quickly, so the onus is on us all to keep looking at our footprint. Apparently the average person in the UK produces about 6 tonnes of CO2 per annum.
We're trying to keep it down (our emissions, and footprint) here at Bigvan.com, but sending vans burning diesel across the south of England has its effects. Personally, I feel the carbon emission is the responsibility of our clients, which helps me sleep at night. We're obsessive about re-using, and finding homes for old furniture (- I'm trying to find a home for a surplus printer at the moment). It is time consuming, and impossible to pass this cost on - sometimes we can sell this surplus, which makes up for it, but essentially it means that we and all our friends all have flats and houses full of second - hand furniture. Other destinations are the Evergreen Trust: Unit 1, 126-128 Brixton Hill, and South London Furniture charity, Kennington.
