Carbon Mitigation - Sustainability Shorts

Time to take action!

Do you remember learning to ride a bike? There’s lots to think about: pedalling, while steering, breaking, not to mention gears. And of course, there’s the all-important balance.

One person who understands balance – including how to ride a bike – is Yetunde Abdul from UKGBC. But Yetunde is more concerned with the balance of natural systems, such as carbon in our environment, rather than cycling.

In this video, hear from Yetunde and others about how the carbon scales have been tipped, taking our planet out of balance, and with it causing unpredictable weather impacts.

But the solutions are out there. Keep watching to find out what’s already happening and what action you can do to help right the balance.
