When we do what we are supposed to do – ensure that things are where they need to be – we inevitably leave a negative footprint on our shared world. We want to make this footprint as small as possible and minimize our emissions, energy consumption and waste. Ideally, we want to make our footprint a perfect zero. So, what are some of the things we are already doing? We have listed a few concrete examples below.
Whereas our footprint – which refers to the negative impacts of our operations on the world around us – can only be reduced to zero, there is no limit to increasing our handprint. Our handprint refers to the positive environmental impacts of our operations. Together with others. So, what does it mean in practice? Read on for a few examples.
