SHADES OF GREEN EDITION
SHADES OF GREEN is about everyone playing their part in tackling the climate emergency – whether that’s the ‘dark green’ approach of minimising CO2 emissions through carbon capture, or the ‘light green’ solution of opting for hydrogen over gas boilers to heat our homes.
At BDB Pitmans we have recently completed a carbon audit and are working with environmental consultants Green Element to reduce the firm’s overall carbon footprint. They lift the lid on carbon offsetting on page 13 and provide some practical tips for businesses to reduce their emissions on page 16.
We are also delighted to profile the Eden Project and its global expansion plans
