I see we're giving away a mountain bike on our Green Zone quiz as part of this year's Sibos bash.
Sibos? Green? Don't get me started... the first time I attended I was shocked by the amount of materials seemingly used for three days and then thrown away. All that carpet for starters - an obscene waste.
Anyway - I digress - if you fill in the quiz apparently we'll offset a tonne of CO2.
In case you're wondering - this equates to:
- Driving for 3000 miles, or for three months (presumably not continously)
- One return flight from London to NY
- Turning off you computer monitor every lunch time for three years (based on a 45 minute lunch break)
- Recycling 180,000 sheets of paper
And as for e-invoicing:
- A one per cent increase in the adoption of e-invoicing in Europe can save 800,000 trees annually
- Sending 10,000 paper invoices per month releases one tonne of CO2
- Switching to e-invoicing could save at least 2.8 million tonnes of CO2 worldwide annually
So - on yer bike and take the quiz!
