Description
Summary:30 years of "corporate sustainability" has left our earth in a dire state. Biodiversity loss, planetary fever, floods, wildfires, droughts, melting ice caps, dying corals… the list goes on.

We consume electricity, we drive to work, we fly to our holiday destination, we waste food and plastic and so on. All these actions create a negative impact that can be expressed in CO2 equivalent. The more CO2 ends up in the atmosphere, the more the planet heats up and the more we will be exposed to wildfires, floods, erosion, infectious diseases, water shortages, extreme weather and so on.
