When considering climate change, we often imagine environmental shifts such as sea levels, higher temperatures, or the thawing of glaciers. For example, New York City is actively safeguarding its 520 miles of coastline through a comprehensive approach that prioritizes the most vulnerable areas. It is undeniable that the city faces an escalating risk of flooding due to rising sea levels influenced by climate change.
Therefore, instead of debating the existence of climate change and humanity's responsibility for it, the more critical question is: What actions can we take at the individual, community, and corporate levels to address this issue?
Why is Carbon Neutral Important for Combating Climate Change
Peter Boyd, a lecturer at the Yale School of the Environment and Resident Fellow at the Yale Center for Business and the Environment, emphasizes the significance of carbon neutrality. He states that the goal of carbon neutrality isn't to reach "absolute zero" emissions, but rather to reduce human-caused emissions to a level that allows the natural world to absorb them. Achieving this equilibrium is vital for the long-term sustainability of our environment and the well-being of future generations.
Carbon neutral involves a multifaceted strategy that goes beyond mere mitigation of emissions. It encompasses measures such as energy efficiency improvements, transitioning to renewable energy sources, investing in carbon removal technologies, and supporting carbon offset initiatives. By adopting these proactive approaches, organizations can play a significant role in mitigating climate change and contributing to a healthier and more sustainable planet for all.
Bluevua Path to Carbon Neutrality
Bluevua is committed to environmental responsibility and strives to achieve our carbon neutral goals. In the meantime, we recognized that progress requires not just a bold goal but a practical and detailed plan. Since January 2024, we have teamed up with Climate Partner to calculate the carbon footprint of our products and offset the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide.
Bluevua×Chilie Clean Wind Project
By supporting the clean wind energy project in Chile, Bluevua is estimated to reduce carbon emissions by 197,424 tons annually. Counter-intuitively, renewable energy is not necessarily more costly than fossil fuels. According to the report "Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2022", published by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), between 2010 and 2022 electricity generated from solar and wind energy was cheaper than that generated from fossil fuels, since the cost of producing renewable energy has experienced a clear downward trend over this period.
Clean energy access is made inclusive and equitable, benefiting society. Bluevua's dedication to achieving carbon reduction targets not only aligns with our sustainability goals but also sets the stage for a brighter, more sustainable energy future for everyone.
Take a Step for Our Climate
By altering your eating, drinking, transportation, and shopping habits, you can make a greater impact on climate change than you might realize. Opting for public transportation instead of relying solely on private cars, and adjusting your diet to include fewer meat products and more vegetables are impactful ways to contribute to environmental sustainability.
Additionally, choose an eco-friendly water purifier over single-use plastic bottled. With each Bluevua ROPOT unit, you can reduce your carbon footprint by 35.61 Kg CO₂. It isn't just your water filter; it's the beginning of a more sustainable future for you.
