Low Carbon Initiatives in the Work Place MAKING OUR WORK LIVES BETTER BY Danielle Eiseman

Why?

The Low- Carbon Workplace What does it look like to you?

How do we stack up? Have a think about where these emissions are coming from

Scottish Targets  Reduce carbon emissions by 42% by 2020  100% of electricity will come from renewable sources by 2020  Almost complete de- carbonization of road and rail transport by 2050 Be Proud Scotland!

Visualise It

 What are the impacts?

Each of us has an impact

Driving

Drive smart – fill up less

Electricity 1 Standard 40 W bulb costs 3.43p per day 1 CFL 8 W bulb costs 0.69p per day

Surprised by the numbers?

 Making Change work Real world examples

Feedback What impact do we have on the environment?

Workplace Champion Find leaders within

Incentives What motivates?

Friendly competition Who can reduce the most?

Moments of change What opportunities await you?

 Common Practice Which activities are you currently doing?

Energy Track your energy use and see where you could make some reductions

Transport Car sharing, cycling, public transport, video conferencing, working from home

Recycling and Waste Where can you reduce?

 Beyond the Standard Thinking outside the box

Supply Chains Switching to a supply circle

Why 22°? Test out different temperatures in the office

Power your own desktop New desk allows you to pedal while you work and create electricity

Alternative offices Can you eliminate some travel

Advice Know the reliable places you can turn to

The Low- Carbon Workplace Start to SEE it!
