Tag: Energy waste

Globally, the energy sector was responsible for 15.1 gigatonnes of CO₂ equivalent in 2023, largely fueled by excessive consumption. This significant figure directly addresses the crucial question: what happens if we use more energy than we need, and how does this overconsumption affect our environment and our finances?

According to the United Nations Environment Programme, up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions are generated by food that is produced but not eaten. Understanding the root causes of wastage—across industries, households, and supply chains—is the first critical step toward mitigating these significant environmental and economic impacts.
