Little Ways That You Can Make A Difference To Your Carbon Footprint

Julie Starr • March 6, 2022



In a world where everyone is concerned about the planet it is important you do your bit. Whether it’s throwing that can in the recycling or turning your products off completely, every little helps when it comes to being a bit more sustainable. 

Rideshare And Carpooling

In order to save the world from car exhaust fumes why not consider setting up or using a ridesharing service to get to and from places of interest. One car is better than two or three extra on the road especially when it isn’t necessary. You could all be going to the same place, work, or a bar for instance so it makes sense to all share a ride. You have to be careful here as you could be involved in an accident with another vehicle. If this is the case then you may need to contact an injury lawyer to make a claim. 

Upgrading To Greener Tech

If you are using tech that is old and outdated then it will be causing serious problems to the environment. The tech that is made these days complies with all legal necessities, making it more eco-friendly. Not only that, when you get rid of old tech it usually ends up in a landfill somewhere. The harmful acids inside e-waste will leak into the ground causing damage to not only the soil but subsequently the health of animals. 

Walk When You Can

Walking is not only better for your health but better for the environment as well. In order to save on your carbon emissions, you could walk to places instead of jumping in the car, especially if the location is just around the corner. Driving is one of the biggest causes of global warming and harm to the environment. In fact, driving causes 30% of all greenhouses in the atmosphere. 

Next time you need to take that trip to the coffee shop, take a walk instead of driving. Your health and the world will thank you for it. 

Give A Little Back

If you are wanting to do your part and be green but aren’t quite sure how to go about it the first thing you could do is give to green, eco charities. There are lots of environmental charities that call out to the public for help. You could do a little research and find out the best ones that match your thoughts and feelings. You can then set up the amount you wish to donate and that will be the best thing you can do to start your green journey. 

If you go shopping consider shops that give money towards green charities. There are little boutique shops that usually like to give back. However, some of the bigger brands have also been known to give to green charities as well. 

We hope this helps you understand a little more about how you can go green and help the planet and the environment. You have to do your bit to preserve the planet for future generations to come. 

Blockchain for Sustainability: Cutting Through the Hype with Strategic Communication

By Julie Starr • April 28, 2025
As blockchain continues to gain traction in sustainability circles—from tracking carbon credits to improving supply chain transparency—more organizations are exploring how these emerging tools might support their ESG goals. But with innovation comes complexity, and for many stakeholders, blockchain still feels like a black box. That’s where communication becomes essential. At Taiga Company, we work with clients to simplify complex sustainability narratives without oversimplifying the value. While blockchain can offer traceability and transparency, it’s not a silver bullet—and how you talk about these technologies matters just as much as how you use them. Poor communication can undermine credibility, especially in a landscape where stakeholders and regulators are increasingly alert to greenwashing . On the other hand, clear, honest messaging about blockchain-enabled sustainability efforts can build trust and differentiate your leadership. Our approach is grounded in materiality and alignment. We help organizations: Translate technical tools like blockchain into plain language that resonates with diverse audiences Connect new technologies to core sustainability strategy Craft credible narratives that evolve alongside innovation Blockchain may be new territory, but strategic communication remains the foundation.

6 Things All Modern Businesses Need in 2025

By Julie Starr • April 22, 2025
If you’re starting your own business, then you know all too well that it’s equally an exciting and overwhelming time. There’s so much to think about, and you want to get it right from day one. But it doesn’t have to be as overwhelming as you might think. Let’s go through everything your new business needs to hit the ground running this year. A Clear Business Plan Before anything else, take the time to figure out your game plan. This doesn’t need to be a long, boring document that you’ll never look at again. Think of it as a simple guide that answers three key questions: Who are you selling to? What are you offering? And how are you going to get noticed? Once you’ve written that down, you can always tweak it as your business grows. From a communications standpoint, clarity on your audience and value proposition also sets the foundation for authentic brand storytelling—something Taiga Company helps clients refine at every stage. Responsible Financial Management Money is one of those things that can make or break a business. The good news is you don’t need a finance degree to get it right. Start with a simple budget. Know how much is coming in, what’s going out, and what you’re setting aside. Think about things like stock, marketing, bills and wages if you’re hiring. Keep it realistic and keep it updated. Doing this from day one will make life much easier later. Reliable Cloud Services In 2025, storing everything on your laptop isn’t really a safe bet. Files go missing, computers break, and you don’t want to lose important stuff. That’s where cloud services come in. They keep your files secure, backed up and easy to access from anywhere. Whether it’s documents, customer info or creative work, having it all saved online gives you peace of mind. And when you're building a business in a digital-first world, having secure, accessible assets also means your team can collaborate more efficiently across channels—essential for strong communications. Flexible Payment Options Most people don’t carry cash anymore, so if you’re only accepting it, you’re going to lose sales. Get yourself a card reader that takes all the usual stuff like debit cards, credit cards, contactless and Apple Pay. The easier you make it for someone to pay you, the more likely they are to buy. Simple as that. A Basic Website Even if you’re not selling online, you still need a website. It doesn’t have to be fancy. Just something that tells people who you are, what you do, and how they can contact you. Think of your site as your digital front door. If someone hears about your business, chances are they’ll look you up online. Make sure what they find actually helps them. A clear website is also one of the most powerful communication tools your business has. We work with clients to ensure their digital presence reflects their story, purpose, and value. A Way to Spread the Word You can’t rely on people just stumbling across your business. You’ve got to put yourself out there. Social media is a great start, but don’t stop there. Think email newsletters , posters in your local area or even just chatting about your work whenever it comes up naturally. The more you talk about your business, the more others will too. Starting a business in 2025 is a big move, but it doesn’t have to feel impossible. Get the basics in place, stay flexible and keep learning. With the right tools and the right message, you can build momentum and create connection. Taiga Company helps growing businesses translate operational essentials into brand trust and long-term impact.
