The idea of Climate Change is certainly nothing new to us in 2022. We know the impact it has on us and are now even starting to see the evidence in our day-to-day lives. But what impact can we have on it?
In this episode of Green About Media, we explore how we got to this point and how it's different from the other cycles of global warming that the planet has experienced. We also explore the different scopes that an organisation, or even an individual can use to measure their carbon emissions in order to better understand where changes can be implemented to create real change.
And we leave you with a question and invite you to record your answer and email it to us:

Think of a scope 3 emission in your personal/professional life, and something small you could change that would positively impact your emissions
What are the kinds of conversations are you having with people in your personal & professional life surrounding this topic
Where have you noticed some of these emission reduction efforts in companies that you interact with

1. Sustainability, ESG & CSR. Whats the Difference & Why Does It Matter?

As sustainability and all its subsidiary terms and definitions become increasingly thrown around in media and politics, it's not a surprise that they all begin to blur together for the average person.
This is problematic. That's why we are more likely to pass off these topics as 'too confusing' or 'I can't keep track anymore' and when we do this, not only do we lose scope of what we can do and which companies we should or shouldn't support, but it also means that organisations that aren't doing their part, are more likely to get away with it by simply throwing these words around.
In this episode of Green About Media, we will introduce you to Corporate Sustainable Development expert Ara Almada as she explains the difference between some of these key terms and why it matters.

3. Digital's Carbon Footprint

In this episode of Green About Media we explore Digital's Carbon Footprint. Does it even have one?
The answer is yes, and it's pretty big.
But things are changing and there is actually a lot you can do in your day-to-day and in your company to make a difference.
