#25 | Individual vs. corporate impact and action

The Tea on Sustainable Living

Mar 14 2023 • 31 mins

Did you know that 11 people in 1 company made decisions that were responsible for 0.45% of all carbon emissions in 2020*? Sure, that doesn’t sound like much - except when you realize that the entirety of Africa only contributed 3.8% of global carbon emissions in 2020**.

In this episode, we talk about the difference between individual vs. corporate impact and action and the mindset shift needed to start viewing these companies as things that are made up of actual people.

What can we do? What can you do? Well, at the very least, you can grab some tea, get comfy, and hit that play button.
