Climate Change

Reducing climate change and your carbon footprint made easy in Ipswich.

Steeped in maritime history, Ipswich's future could well be under water too if climate change continues unchallenged. In the UK, greenhouse gas emissions need to decrease by at least 60% in just over forty years to slow climate change. So whether we're talking about the environmental impact of our business or how our home life is effecting the climate, no matter how small, every single action we take to reducing our carbon footprints can make a difference.

Recycling is one solution that we've all been aware of for a few years now, and it really does help - from separating our rubbish into paper, plastics, glass and biodegradables, through to reusing computer consumables such as print cartridges. But we also need to think more carefully about the waste we make in the first place - if we don't create it, we won't need to bin it. So we will be reducing the emissions it would have taken to make the rubbish and the emissions it would take to collect and dispose of it. Saving energy and saving money for both business and the community too!

In Ipswich we want to make it easier for everyone to do more about their carbon footprint. That's why we're also working hard to create better travel solutions, from more cycle friendly roads, improved public transport facilities and safer sharing options. Simply choose to leave your car behind and take a bus, or dust off your bike and take to our cycle lanes. There are eco-friendly options for everyone, both in business and at home. Simply check our 'Go green' web pages and see how you can make a difference for the future, today!
