For many of us, we can take electricity for granted. We may rarely stop to think about the impact our electricity use has on the environment or our energy bills. It’s no small issue either. Over 5bn metric tons of C02 was emitted from the production of energy in the US in 2018. So, if […]

Rail travel is considerably better for the environment than other forms of transport. This is particularly true when you consider how much CO2 is emitted per person that travels by car when compared to a train. Research from the European Environment Agency looked at the CO2 emitted per passenger kilometre. Air travel was the worst […]

Senior politicians constantly talk, or possibly lecture, about the UK’s productivity and its relative low position in the pecking order compared to other ‘developed’ nations. We need to produce more per person or else we won’t be globally competitive. Senior management teams want greater productivity, more output without more resources. For the two-dimensional manager that […]

Our continued use and consumption of fossil fuels has contributed to record levels of C02 in the atmosphere. The time has come to make a change. If we ignore the fact that we are harming our planet then the damage will become irreversible. Warmer temperatures, rising sea levels and melting glaciers are just a few […]

Most of us have heard of Bioenergy or biofuel. However, the majority of us might think that this is a modern form of energy. This could not be any further from the truth because the history of bioenergy dates back centuries

Of all the renewable energy sources which currently exist, only solar exceeds any likely future demand. As long as the sun continues to burn, we can tap energy from it without depleting the source. Therefore, we cannot ignore the sun’s contribution to our energy needs. But like all things, there are advantages and disadvantages of […]

Electricity is the second largest expense of schools in the US, outweighed only by teachers’ salaries. In the UK, state-funded schools collectively require about £584 million to pay for electricity and gas. In less developed countries, some schools cannot always afford to keep their lights on during learning hours. These figures all add up to […]

The environment is now paying the price for our lack of care and consideration. Greenhouse gases are causing significant problems such as an increase in temperatures and melting ice caps. Since the industrial revolution, there has been an increase in the temperature of the earth of around 1.2 degrees. As a result, we are now […]

In our quest to reduce carbon emissions, solar farms are becoming a common sight across the globe. What was once a slow-moving technology has now become a mainstream alternative to energy produced from fossil fuels. To demonstrate this growth, we take a look below at the 10 biggest solar farms in the world.

Plastic straws get a bad rap. These ever-present modern-day tools serve a simple function, helping us suck our drinks down without putting cups to our mouths. Arguably totally un-essential (except those that may require them due to physical limitations) we use them once and throw them away. But times are changing. Companies are choosing to […]

Why do we go after the things we want? Science says motivation. If we really want something, we work for it. Or at least, that’s what we expect. In reality, people don’t always go after the things they want. The “Why?” of this realization brought about a concept; fixed vs growth mindset.
