There were moments of optimism and frustration about the conference. About 110 countries and about $14 billion of funds have been committed to stopping deforestation, which is fantastic. This is also the first time that the private sector has agreed to the commitment. But then, this is not the first time that countries have signed deforestation commitments. The 2014 commitment did not amount to much and there’s already signs of Indonesia having cold feet and positioning themselves to potentially withdrawing from this year’s commitment.

Running Your Business Sustainably

There is no business right now that should be conscious of their environmental impact. Even the smallest company has an effect, and while you might consider it too small to matter - add it together with the millions of other small companies, and you have a problem.

Would You Ever Consider Using Solar Energy in Your Home?

Solar energy is power that is taken from the radiation of the sun. It is something that can then be converted into a power that we can use, electricity or heat. As it is something that is so freely available, and with all of the technology that we can all make the use of, harnessing the power of solar energy is something that is becoming much more available to us all.
