It is also designed be the UK's first commercial development to be net zero in both construction and operation.. P-DfMA makes this possible.Antonios Kountouriotis.
A rise of 3-5. o.C may be enough to see the end of hominids, us..
I feel my own responsibility for the situation.I have consumed, benefitted from cheap energy, travelled on business and for pleasure to far flung places.My lifetime carbon footprint will be in the top 25% of the world population despite my efforts now to minimise it.
I have three children who are very aware and are taking decisions which will mean their impact on the world will be positive.. What should I do in this contrite state?Should I wear a hair shirt, carry around my guilt, or go and live like a hermit?.
The reality is that no matter how much I do personally, on my own, it will have a completely negligible effect on the problem.
UK carbon emissions are less than 1% of global emissions.The drivers for change in this arena need themselves to change, in reality and in dialogue.. With tough and uncertain trading conditions, drivers which do not put economics at the centre of things, risk becoming marginalised.
The aims of efficiency, intensification, recycling and waste reduction, if applied correctly, are directly shared with improving today’s economics.In an arena where regulation and taxation will be aligned to carbon reduction, there is also a strategic necessity for long-term profitability.
Framing the drivers in this way would chime much more favourably with shareholders, boardrooms, and in the political arena.. Economics are certainly the key driver in the generics manufacturers who operate in price-sensitive markets.Accounting for as high as 90% of prescription drugs, their strategies and business decisions have huge influence on the impact of the sector.
