If humanity is going to avert the worst effects of climate change critical issues need to be addressed by the world as a whole. Governments, individuals and the business community will all need to play their part if we are going to succeed. Educating people, encouraging policy change and becoming personally responsible for our global warming contribution is something companies need to embrace as well as individuals.
As the world becomes more aware of this issue there will be a growing demand for businesses to act positively on climate change because whichever industry you're in, your business will be producing greenhouse gas emissions. The time has come to be a leader on climate change, instead of waiting for others to act on the most important environmental issue facing the world today.

Coolplanet Events
A Coolplanet Event makes a conference, festival or even a wedding carbon neutral. Nearly every person that attends the event will produce carbon through the transport they use to get there as well as their accommodation. The extent of emissions will be determined primarily by how many people attend and how far they traveled to get there while actual event energy use, catering and waste make up a small part of the overall total. Coolplanet can work out all these factors and then reduce and offset that amount making your event carbon neutral.
