Despite pandemic shutdowns, carbon dioxide emissions surged in 2020 and entered the Earth’s atmosphere to further accelerate global warming. While 50% of this gas remained in the atmosphere, natural water cycles dumped 25% into the ocean, causing pH levels to increase dramatically.

In this blog, we will unpack the impact of ocean acidification on the food chain caused by changes to pH and the importance of meeting emissions goals to ensure that marine species continue to thrive.

Seagrass provides various benefits to the aquatic ecosystem and protects its vitality by providing habitats for species, preventing storm surge and sequestering carbon.

Unfortunately, global seagrass meadows are declining due to human activity, threatening the security of all marine life. To understand why we should limit our impact on seagrass, we first must understand the importance of this plant species.

Travelling is an incredible experience that allows you to visit new places, enjoy exciting new experiences, and learn about different cultures all around the world. However, global travel is having a damaging effect on the environment and tourism is responsible for around 8 percent of the world’s carbon emissions according to a recent study.

This makes the tourism sector a bigger polluter than the construction industry. While some emissions are unavoidable while travelling, there are plenty of ways to make your holidays greener. With this in mind, here are some of the top eco-friendly transport options in 2020.

This week, Sea Going Green declared a climate emergency. Luckily, we’ve come up with a plan.

To follow our commitment, Sea Going Green has created a Climate Emergency Action Plan in line with our commitment to target lowering our clients and our own office’s CO2 emissions. Our goal is to set an example for the tourism industry while inspiring all of you to join the Tourism Declares community by declaring a climate emergency and creating your very own action plan.

Enough is enough. We’re declaring a climate emergency. Call us a whistle-blower, but the tourism industry is in trouble and without immediate change, the consequences of inaction will be irreversibly destructive to the future of our environment.

Along with 78 travel companies and counting, we’re joining forces with big names in tourism to stand up and take responsibility for our actions. In this blog, we’ll discuss how the tourism industry has contributed to global warming, why we’re declaring a climate emergency and our commitment working towards keeping warming to 1.5 degrees by 2030.

When goods and services are traded in marketplaces around the world, you are able to look at a price tag and decide to purchase the product of your choice. When it comes to thing like safety, happiness, fresh air and most importantly, a clean environment, these qualities are not ‘for sale’ and therefore do not have a price tag.

This is where ECIs (Environmental Cost Indicators) can help quantify the value of the impact an action can have on the environment. Read on to see how your business can use these to become more sustainable!
