Are you working from home?

Due to the latest advice from Government we would urge you to limit any time outside the house for daily exercise.  Our latest article provides links to free online workouts that are being provided to help everyone with ideas for exercise whilst staying at home.

Positives of home working on the environment

Although Covid19 has caused us all to adapt and resulted in many of us working from home, its not all doom and gloom! Pollution levels across the world are massively reducing, with traffic levels in New York down by 35% compared to last year and emissions of carbon monoxide in the air have fallen by around 50%.

Data from navigation company TomTom shows that in Belfast at 8am yesterday [Tuesday 17th March], traffic congestion was 78% lower than the average at that time of day during 2019. Reading saw a 38% fall in congestion in the morning peak, Southampton 34%, Bristol 29%, Manchester 27% and Edinburgh 20%.

If working from home has so far been a success for you and your workplace, maybe its time to take up the opportunities of home working more often, reducing the amount of time you spend in the car each day & lowering emission levels.
