Positive ripples from Carbon Literacy training

Last January I took Jen Gale of @sustainableish ‘s Carbon Literacy course. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

With all CL courses, at the end you make a commitment to do something afterwards. One of mine was moving my pension to be more transparent and ethical (thank you @mindfulwealthuk ) another was to ask my software suppliers to help me to track carbon.

So I asked Mydoma Studio ….and they listened and were completely supportive….and they have just added CO2e to then product information box to fill in.

So now when I add a product to my digital library to use in projects, I can add the CO2e value and it is totalled up in the same way the monetary budget is 🎉✨

Thank you so much for listening to Sarah, Dixie and the Mydoma Studio team!
This seemly small chance is really going to help me to measure and reduce the impact of projects. I’m also hope it will serve as a nudge to fellow designers to use it and for our suppliers to give us the measurements too 💚

Now I just need @freeagentapp to do the same so I can measure my business’s operational carbon! Surely I’m not the only business wanting to do that 🤔
