Photographer goes Greenhouse Conscious

Since my commitment to offsetting my business in February (see Feb 26 post) I have been busying away calculating the carbon emissions generated in running my business. I am super proud to say that today, as a Photographer, I offset my carbon footprint of 4.3 tonnes of greenhouse gas! The calculations took into consideration natural gas, electricity, air travel, couriers, taxis, paper used for the business, off-site waste disposal and car travel. It was actually an interesting exercise, to see what I have been generating and using, and it was a surprisingly simple process to complete. For all of those phone phobes out there, I did it all completely over the internet. Very happy.

Wow, Ann that is a huge commitment! I myself have not gone so far as to look into offsetting my business, probably because it is voluntary, and costs money. You have inspired me to have a look into it. Thanks.
