Friday March 26 - A Working Day Without Travel

What is Climate Care Day?
Climate Care Day is an initiative created by Arkadin Global Conferencing, and supported by WWF, to encourage global businesses to replace all corporate travel with remote meetings for one day only.

When is Climate Care Day?
Climate Care Day is on Friday, 26 March, 2010.

Whats the purpose?
Climate Care Day is intended to raise awareness of the importance of climate change - the 21st centurys number one environmental issue - and demonstrate how simple choices can make a significant difference to the environment. It recognises the importance of the planet to both the business community and our personal wellbeing.

Where does the idea come from?
Following the success of Earth Hour, Climate Care Day was created as a business initiative. As dispersed and mobile workforces become an increasing reality for corporations, a global sustainability movement that supports both responsible and profitable business operations makes sense.

How do you expect businesses to respond?
Climate Care Day makes complete business sense. Global conferencing and the Internet help companies reduce significant costs, improve productivity, save time and create a better work-life balance for employees, all while cutting carbon emissions.

Why should businesses get involved?
Climate care is now a mainstream business issue and companies have a critical role to play in reducing carbon emissions. Climate Care Day enables businesses to make a difference through easy and practical alternatives that make economic sense.

Why are you focusing on business travel? Isnt this just a promotional opportunity?
Business travel can represent more than 50 per cent of a companys carbon footprint. Reviewing alternatives to corporate travel is one of the most effective, and easiest, ways of reducing CO2 emissions.
