Read our blog and comment below to let us know how we can embrace ‘best practice’, become an expert at it, and tell everyone that ‘good enough’ isn’t good enough anymore.

    Indeed, need to do that too. But trees take a few decades to become effective carbon sinks. We can stop producing the pollution today by simple changes to our homes and behaviours.

    Don't trees naturally produce CO2 at night and Oxygen during the day? Do you really think that CO2 is "pollution"?

    too much of anything can be considered pollution, especially things that are hazardous to human health (nox and particulates) and excess C02 that cannot be absorbed by the seas and plants. record high levels of  atmospheric co2 is increasing the greenhouse effect and raising global temperatures to levels that are having adverse effects on weather and ecosystems, fires, floods pestilance. but as a Professional Engineer you already knew that right?
