Announcement: Sustainable Transport
Transport is one of the largest global contributors to air pollution and emissions. Petrol and diesel fuels create harmful byproducts like nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and formaldehyde. Furthermore, these fossil fuels contribute to substantial carbon dioxide emissions. These have a detrimental impact on human health, climate, and ecosystem integrity, constraining our collective sustainability efforts. In addition, the rising cost of fuel puts a strain on individuals, organizations, and societies, making sustainable travel not just an eco-friendly decision, but an economic necessity, too.
The Sustainability Pledge
The choices we make in our everyday lives have a significant environmental, social and economic impact. Yet we have agency over our behaviour, a capacity to be conscious environmental stewards and socially responsible citizens. The shift to a sustainable lifestyle does not necessarily demand difficult tradeoffs or uncomfortable adjustments. A good way to start would be to make a few simple changes in our daily actions — from reducing our environmental footprint to supporting local communities.
We invite you to take the Krea Sustainability Pledge, and incorporate as many as possible of the following 25 sustainability principles into your daily routine.
