We often resist change, especially when it is uncomfortable. This past year has pushed many people out of their comfort zones and brought on unusual amounts of stress. The truth is, though, that our lives can be upended at any moment. Heraclitus said, “The only constant in life is change.”
🙏🏻Yoga Teacher Ashley shares a beautiful guide to why autumn is the time to slow down, reflect on “control” and set intentions through restorative yoga practice.

Today is World Car Free Day! So, thought I'd quest

Today is World Car Free Day! So, thought I'd question if social distancing and working from home actually impacting Climate Change?🌏 The only way to assess the impact of those of us working from home is to look at the current data...

🌏 Here is the drop in CO2e tonnes by each area:

🚎 Public transport – Of course we all know that public transport was virtually empty compared to regular rush hours, with most people able to work from home. Data shows that 1.89 million tonnes less CO2e due to journeys falling to just 11.77% of normal levels.

🚙 Road vehicles – Cities and motorways were silent due to regular commuters staying home. Figures show that 15.18 million tonnes less CO2e due to a 52.56% drop in road usage.

✈️ Air travel – The figures are staggering again with very few people flying during lockdown. 6.94 million tonnes less – due to flights falling by 69% or 295,713 flights.
Energy usage – 6.44 million tonnes less – Though home energy consumption rose by up to 30%, overall demand has fallen 15% due to the save in business usage. This saved 6.4 million tonnes.😱

🏙️ London (AKA the UK’s most polluted city) dropped – 1.17 million tonnes of CO2e – due to the 12-week 97.2% population decrease in the capital.

🧐 So, What Lessons Can We Learn?

Working on the presumption that the virus will be eradicated and restrictions lifted, what are the take home lessons and actions we can all take?

1. If you're an employer, allow your staff to work form home a couple of days a week.
2. As an employee, ask if your employer if can work from home a little more.
3. Think about remote working opportunities, start an online business.
4. If you have a long commute, look into job opportunities nearer to your home.
5. Cut down on driving your car on short journeys or to places accessible by train.
6. Switch to driving an electric car or get a bicycle.
7. Try going on more staycations, instead of flying as much.

💙 Have you made any changes to your work/ commute situation following lockdown? #ClimateWeekNYC

🌏 This is so true. It takes ever single one of us, to make more conscious decisions in our daily lives, complain to supermarkets, demand more from our local councillors and politicians. It can be overwhelming to think about, just start with one small change...

Climate Week NYC starts today. It is the biggest c

Climate Week NYC starts today. It is the biggest climate summit taking place this year, with a focus on how we rebuild the global economy for people and planet after COVID-19.

💙There will be talks taking place online, live from NYC and around the world featuring some amazing business and government leaders.
Discussions will be covering sustainable travel and tourism with @glblctzn, green buildings with @theclimategroup, why we should all be eating less meat with @meatlessmonday, looking at a zero-carbon Britain with @centreforalternativetechnology and so many more talks that dig deeper into subjects around sustainability and climate change.

You can watch and listen online from the safety of your home via @TheClimateGroup NYC Facebook Watch Page.

🌎We must halve global emissions by the end of this decade and to do that change is vital from us as individuals, customers, citizens as well as employees, employers, community groups, business owners and of course the government. To do this we need to educate ourselves and learn more about the things harming our planet and our future.

🌝Let me know if you listen to any of the talks and what you learn.
