Climate
Change is probably the largest threat to the natural world and will
have a huge impact on the way we live our lives in the future.
Climate Change is leading to Global Warming which is defined as an
increase in the average temperature on Earth.
People are causing global warming by burning fossil fuels (like
oil, coal and natural gas) and cutting down forests. Scientists
have shown that these activities are pumping far more CO2 into the
atmosphere than was ever released in hundreds of thousands of
years. This build up of CO2 is the biggest cause of global
warming.
Everyone is working towards replacing these traditional energy
sources with more sustainable ones such as hydro power, solar power
and wind power. Hopefully in years to come these technologies will
replace our existing ones. Until then we need to do something to
slow down the effects of Climate Change.
Trees are a great way of reducing the amount of CO2 in the
atmosphere because one tree absorbs circa 1 tonne of carbon over
its lifetime. In addition to this trees help maintain ecosystems
for wildlife, flora and fauna to flourish
En-Spiral is committed to mitigating our carbon footprint.
Therefore we have teamed up with OxTreeGen to plant trees in the UK
to mitigate the carbon footprint of all our business activities,
and to help create woodlands that will last for generations to
come.
We plant one tree every time we place a permanent employee, and
our clients hiring through us receive a certificate confirming they
are helping the planet breathe. Each tree will absorb up to 1 tonne
of CO2 in its lifetime.

Renewable World
At En-Spiral we are very passionate about
supporting the industry we recruit in as much as possible. Due to
this, we have now partnered up with the charity Renewable World,
providing pro bono specialist recruitment services
to them as their recruitment partner.
Who are Renewable World?
More than 1.4 billion people worldwide have no access to
electricity. Indoor air pollution from paraffin, wood, grass or
animal dung used for lighting and heating kills nearly 2 million
people every year - mainly women and children.
Renewable World, a registered charity, tackles poverty by
leveraging funds, expertise and resources from the Renewable Energy
industry to support renewable energy systems (solar, wind, hydro
and biogas) in remote, off-grid communities in Africa, Asia and
Central America.
Renewable World's work transforms lives. Access to energy
enables communication and trade, supports the establishment of new
income generating ventures and stimulates enterprise. Education is
improved as children can study in the evenings, and schools can
open later for adult education. Energy provision improves
health through the use of clean lighting and cooking sources, and
because clean water can be pumped direct to households.
Healthcare is more accessible because clinics can keep vaccines,
HIV tests and snakebite anti-venom in fridges.

Most of the energy used for transport
and keeping homes warm and lit comes from fossil fuels such as
coal, gas and oil. Click here to find out how
to reduce your use of fossil fuels, help manage the risks of
