From Carbon Footprint to Carbon Fingerprint: An Individual Approach to Unpacking the Climate Crisis from Within the Baking Industry, One Meaningful Change at a Time - 80
Description: Talk of the climate crisis can be overwhelming. We are constantly bombarded with frightening statistics, conflicting opinions and miseducation from green-washing. We ask ourselves: "Are we in the baking industry doing enough?" and the answer is invariably: "No."
What if we went back to basics and redefined our approach? What if, instead of concentrating on the massive, we focused - one at a time - on the manageable. In this talk, Richard will question our focus on the Carbon Footprint and introduce an alternative: the Carbon Fingerprint.
Whilst a footprint evokes weight and force, a fingerprint is light and small in its impression. In the same way that no two fingerprints are the same, environmental responses can be individual without compromising their impact.
Like other food packaging providers, the baking industry is under constant scrutiny for its plastic contribution. With 30 years experience in the sector, and as a champion of recyclability long before it was a mainstream concern, Richard is uniquely placed to explore this issue.
If you can't see the plastic for the trees, then this is the talk for you.
