Your website has a carbon footprint—how sustainable is it? 🌍 The top Carbon Literacy Climate Action of the Month comes from Dominic Richards, Director at Zentive Agency, committing to measuring and reducing their website’s carbon footprint. 💻 “Everyone is looking to make easy wins to improve the sustainability of both their personal and commercial actions, and in 2025, the digital and online world’s carbon footprint is only getting bigger. Making relevant changes to your company website and IT processes is a logical way to satisfy both these challenges. And you’d be surprised how big the impact will be. A company website has replaced the store/shopfront in the 21st century. Therefore, this is likely your customer’s first impression of your business. Why not make that first impression a lasting one that impacts the environment positively? By not only making your website more efficient and improving the user experience, you can update your messaging to plant the seed of sustainability in your audience’s mind. An example would be to have the website carbon badge to show your website’s carbon rating and encourage others to do the same. This will have a knock-on effect that might inspire the user to follow suit with their website, as well as bring the topic up in further conversations. And the best part is that you can do it anytime without many resources. Simply navigate to https://lnkd.in/gUimUjA and estimate your website’s carbon footprint in minutes. We’ve already had some great conversations come from this initiative, with a lot of people asking for the website carbon calculator so they can rate their website. We hope to keep on inspiring others and shifting mindsets day in and day out.” Raising awareness and advocating for low-carbon digital solutions now could prevent the internet from becoming one of the world’s worst carbon emitters. 🌿 Want to take climate action yourself, but need help determining where you can make the most impact?

Women are essential drivers of climate action —but are they being heard? 📢🌏 To celebrate International Women’s Day on 8th March, we’re amplifying the voices of women in sustainability. While research shows that women are more engaged in climate-friendly behaviour, they remain underrepresented in the sustainability field. And for many, gender bias still shapes their career journeys. At The Carbon Literacy Project, we know that diverse lived experiences drive stronger, more inclusive climate action. That’s why we’re spotlighting some of the incredible women in our team—each carving their own unique path in sustainability. From communicators to analysts, strategists to educators, their stories show why rights, equality, and empowerment are essential for all women in this space. 🔗 Read their inspiring stories in our latest blog: https://lght.ly/o0dk27d And follow our wonderful contributors! ⬇️ Marjolein Thickett 🌍 AITI Bhagyashree Chunekar, MBA, MSc Helen Taylor Saaniya Sharma Rebecca Stacey Farah Lodhi Who are the women in sustainability who inspire you? Tag them in the comments! 💬 #IWD2025 #WomenInSustainability #ClimateAction #CarbonLiteracy #AccelerateAction
