Some of you might have seen this statement on billboards around Sydney. Interestingly its from an oil company and it refers to their commitment to alternative energy.
At the centre we have also been involved in much discussion about ways to reduce carbon emissions. This year we have decided to neutralise all carbon emissions associated with our activities.
We are already running 100% green power so that means all of our power is generated from renewable energy sources like, wind, solar and hydro electric.
Most of our other emissions are associated with transport. This includes Field of Mars staff travelling too and from the centre, travelling to schools, as well as schools and teachers travelling to and from Field of Mars in buses and cars.
To neutralise the emissions associated with these activities we contacted Climate Friendly. This company (there are many others) will organise to offset your emissions by investing into new renewable energy projects. You can visit their website for more details.
For the first time we can say that all activities and excursions associated with the Field of Mars are now carbon neutral. We are particularly happy with this achievement.
