Environmental Benefits of Teleconferencing
Carbon emissions are changing the landscape of our planet.
Travelling is a primary cause of Carbon emissions, whether flying or by car. To stabilise the atmosphere, deep reductions are required; the UK and other EU countries are committed to a 60% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050.
We can cut down on those emissions by cutting the amount of travelling and by creating carbon neutral technologies. But, what has this got to do with your businesses' audio conferences and Web Conferencing?
Audio and Web Conferencing is not only a cost effective alternative to expensive travelling and hotel costs but an environmentally better way of meeting and discussing your business every day. You can conduct your business in much the same way, with an audio and web interface to show documents, collaborate on presentations, make important announcements to shareholders and conduct press conferences. This helps in cutting carbon emissions and helping to save the environment. Some quick facts on travelling and carbon emissions:
- A transatlantic return flight between London and New York creates on average 1.2 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide emissions.
- A Petrol fuelled car with 2 Litre engine or greater, travelling 500 miles per week creates on average 9 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide per year.
Follow the link here to the CarbonNeutral Company to see how many tonnes of CO2 you or your company use by flying and driving to meetings. Then consider if reducing your costs as well as your company's carbon footprint is worth it, and try Audio and Web Conferencing with CentraCall instead of flying to that meeting.
