It is estimated that by 2070 one third of the world's population will live in habitable conditions. Well, they could be habitable, but only if we can figure out how to live in a place as warm as the Sahara. We are firmly in the grip of a genuinely apocalyptic environmental crisis. Floods, droughts and extreme weather are now the norm. And to prevent the entire planet from descending into a hell of chaos, world leaders gathered in October 2021 for a talk at COP26, which stands for United Nations Climate Change Conference. Britain's fearless leader took a plane instead of a train which is greener and more available.

Even small and medium-sized businesses contribute to half of industry-driven greenhouse gas emissions. Simply put, helping the environment should be on everyone's agenda. And it is possible for each of us. So what are other companies doing and what can we learn from them? Well, Ikea recently launched sustainable stores to make eco-friendly products more accessible and affordable for customers. You could argue that shipping everything flat-packed helps too, but that largely depends on your perspective and how much time you've spent struggling with a wardrobe. Amazon launched 206 renewable energy projects , making it the largest corporate buyer of renewable energy sources in Europe. And of course, they've had a huge impact on the world of consumerism, so maybe they have a lot to answer for.
