Pete Adams Design is now Carbon Neutral! Hooray to being a sustainable design business

One of the top goals for my studio for 2020 was to work towards net zero emissions and create a carbon neutral, and then carbon positive design studio. In November of 2020 the carbon neutral goal was achieved. This year has been a crazy year for everyone. Bushfires, Flash Floods, COVID Pandemic, and now back into searing heat waves. It’s impossible not to see our negative impact on the planet and so sustainability has been an important driver for me this year.

As of January 2020 I set myself a target of becoming a carbon neutral business by the end of 2020.

I wasn’t entirely sure what that would include, or what the steps would be, the order, or cost. I just knew it needed to be done. Our country was on fire and business couldn’t continue as usual.

I’ve made the first small steps to working towards a more sustainable, ethical and carbon neutral business with a long way still to go but I wanted to share my progress. I hope it can help others.

Carbon Neutral Design Studio - A Process for Sustainability in Graphic Design

Driving through the fires one day, flying above them a few days later. The past few weeks have been crazy on the East coast of Australia. The threat of climate change has felt very real and very close to home up here in Bangalow. These bushfires have been the catalyst for this project, this new mission to become a carbon neutral or even carbon positive design studio.
