A Local Printer has been a member of Carbon Club since 2021 and has annually offset 50 tonnes of carbon. This is in addition to the carbon offsetting programme for our paper and our and in combination means that we are a fully carbon neutral company with some room to spare!
For many of our customers knowing that they have a carbon neutral product is now more important that having their printing on recycled papers, and for those who wish to use it we have a new eco logo that can be added to any of our printed products.
Carbon neutrality is the single biggest thing we can all achieve, with plenty of carbon offsetting programmes available to businesses and individuals alike.
There are some simple steps that we can take to reduce the carbon we generate in our daily lives:-
1. Turn down your thermostat and water by one degree
2. Turn off lights and appliances when they are not being used
3. Reduce your food waste
4. Ensure your home is well insulated
5. Always have a reusable bag with you when you shop
6. Organise a car pool for employees and/or friends
7. Switch to LED light bulbs
8. Find a carbon reduction partner to work with
