Happy new year!
Sustainability. Do you do anything about it or just talk about it?
Current breakfast view is offices that have their lights on 24/7 (even over the Christmas shut down) when nobody is there. I’m far from perfect myself but this seems like an easy action.
We moved into the centre of Bristol in time for Christmas. This enabled me to make some positive changes.
I have sold my car! It’s a big lifestyle change and I’ll still need to hire a car sometimes (Enterprise run a car club where we can hire by the hour/mile). Public transport is far from perfect but I’ve always preferred to use it (or to walk/cycle) when possible. That’s now much easier in the city than it was in rural life.
We also have incredibly fast broadband so, while I can walk/train/bus to more meetings in person, it is also easier to run online meetings. Since covid more people have a suitable set up for this and Minerva Accountants is run remotely (apart from our 90 day planning sessions which are usually in person). I like seeing people face to face but a Zoom/Teams call saves lots of travel time which also increase productivity.
I know I’ve still a lot to improve as I do like to travel but I’m keen that we shouldn’t miss the easy things. Are there any simple improvements that you can make?
