Use Video Conference to Reduce Carbon Foot Prints on the Planet
October 5, 2016

Wondering, how using video conferencing is linked to the reduction of carbon footprints on the planet? Well, the explanation is easy and straightforward. As per a study commissioned by the Carbon Disclosure Project, if business owners replace traditional business meetings with video conferencing, the carbon emission in the atmosphere can be reduced by an impressive 5.5 million metric ton. In addition to that, it is estimated that a staggering $19 billion can be saved by 2020, if this sustainable idea is strategically implemented.

Video Conferencing Saves Time, Money & Reduces Carbon Footprints

Video conference connects two individuals stationed at distant locations without a glitch. It’s a great way to conduct business or collaborative meetings without having to travel long distances.  Traveling in a car across town to meet a client or taking a flight to another city to attend a conference inevitably leaves carbon footprints in the atmosphere. Carbon emission from vehicles, airplanes or any other mode of transport adds to the particulate matter in the air and is one of the many reasons responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer.

Besides protecting the environment, video conferencing also saves time and money. You can engage a serious meeting right from the comfort of your office or home, without having to jostle the woes of a traffic jam or spend money on fuel or an air ticket.  For instance, audio and video communications from Bluejeans can save enterprises thousands of dollars a year, and not have to spend money on travel tickets or a hotel reservation.

Video Conferencing Reduces the use of Plastic & Disposable Utensils

Can you imagine a business meeting or conference without rounds and rounds of Coffee and snacks? Meetings and conferences last a long time and time, and again the attendees take coffee breaks, meaning more and more use of disposable cups and utensils made from plastic. Disposable cups and utensils add to the plastic litter and adversely impact the environment. The materials used to manufacture these are non-degradable and is responsible for oceanic and maritime pollution. Paper plates and cups may be more environmentally viable, however, can have a negative bearing on the global forests.

Video Conferencing Reduces Food Waste

According to a research finding, the world wastes 1.6 billion ton of food each year.  This is sad not only from the perspective of major food shortage in parts of the world but also from the standpoint of waste management and wastage of resources that have been invested in getting the produce.  We often witness wastage of vast amount of food and beverage in business meetings and conference. However, if the meeting is conducted via video conference, a copious amount of food waste can be averted.

Wrapping up, the video conference is a medium of communication designed for a dynamic business industry like logistic, trade, sales and even IT. It is a quick way to connect with clients, cross-functional teams and partners from anywhere in the world. And most importantly it’s environmentally viable which is extremely relevant for sustainable business operations.
