Vi människor påverkar miljön som vi lever i på en rad olika sätt. Tyvärr finns många exempel på mänskliga ”aktiviteter” som kan leda till negativa effekter på vår miljö. Den mest välkända orsaken till miljöförstöring är utsläpp av koldioxid till atmosfären som leder till en förhöjd medeltemperatur på vårt jordklot. Något som inte alls är lika självklart men som också kan påverka vår miljö negativPollutant emissions to the environment caused by human activity is a worldwide problem. This can occur due to residential fires which are often connected to loss of human lifes and belongings, as well as environmental damage.

Lärdomar från småföretag som minskar sina utsläpp med Science Based Targets Vi vet alla hur viktigt det är att stoppa klimatförändringarna som sker, men ansvaret kanske inte alltid ligger på dig eller mig. Ofta fokuseras det på vad vi kan göra som individer, men alla problem hade inte löst sig även om vi slutade flyga eller åt mer vegetariskt. Omställningen måste även göras av företagen som stårWith climate change resulting from a history of uncontrolled greenhouse gas emissions, all parts of society now need to take action - maybe most importantly the private sector. Since 2015 the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative has committed over 5000 companies worldwide to heavily reduce their total emissions at a pace that scientists deem necessary for average global temperature rise to stay
