This week, I decided to publish an article that strays from my usual weekly contribution. Instead of providing readers with industry reports, case studies, or thought leadership articles, below you will find four videos discussing various topics relatable to our community. I guarantee that each of you will find something of interest, as each video varies in its focal point.

Fun fact: 1 Google search on our smart phones equals 1 gram of CO2. 1 million Google searches emits enough CO2 for a flight from Paris to NYC. Last year, there were 3 billion Google searches. Mackenzie explores reduction plans in various countries related to current trends. Achieve more by using less.
