Health / Surefire Ways Companies Can Mitigate Their Carbon Footprint by stevewrites(m): 1:18am On Jul 08, 2022 |
Climate change is one of the most severe threats facing civilisation worldwide. Corporations as a whole are greatly responsible for the greater percentage of climate change globally. There is no getting around it: climate change is a global problem. If the world cannot rapidly curb emissions, we will quickly run out of viable options to adapt to its effects. Hence, companies worldwide have a vital role to play in reducing their carbon footprint and helping the world achieve its necessary emissions targets. In this article, we have compiled 4 sure ways to help companies reduce their carbon footprint. First, let’s unravel what a carbon footprint entails. Your organisation’s carbon footprint is the total carbon emissions (greenhouse gas emissions) generated by all of your combined business activities, the products and services you use and even the use of your products by your customers. Therefore, any greenhouse gases emitted (carbon dioxide, methane, etc.) as a result of business activities fall under your company's carbon footprint. 1) Reduce Waste Strategies such as reducing your organisation's energy usage and reducing business-related travel are highly important. However, reducing the overall waste of your organisation is another non-obvious but powerful strategy to reduce your carbon footprint. Ultimately, all the office supplies your organisation uses daily have their own carbon footprint. Therefore, reducing, reusing, and recycling as much as possible will allow your company to cut down on the emissions associated with producing this material. 2) Buy Carbon Offsets There is a certain amount of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions that are still unavoidable as of this time. Unfortunately, until clean energy infrastructure is more widespread and the burning of fossil fuels continues, this will keep happening. Asides implementing other strategies mentioned in this article, you need to also leverage carbon offsets to account for the unavoidable emissions. Carbon offset is a process that allows you to make up for the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions you produce by reducing emissions somewhere else. You can find out the cost of carbon offsetting here. You can also read more about carbon offsetting and how it works here. 3) Reduce Energy Use In many cases, the total energy usage of a company will be one of the most significant aspects of its carbon footprint. This is simply because burning fossil fuels is responsible for nearly all energy production. In fact, according to a report by Forbes in 2020, fossil fuels accounted for 84% of the world's energy. So chances are, the majority of the energy usage by your company involves fossil fuels too. As such, the most straightforward and first thing your business should do is take steps to reduce this energy usage as much as possible. Not only is this good for the planet, but it can also help cut costs, making it advantageous for your bottom line, too. 4) Transition To Renewable Energy Sources While many actions can significantly reduce your company's energy usage, they obviously cannot reduce it in its entirety. When you look at all the sources of greenhouse gas emissions burning fossil fuels to produce energy generates the vast majority of them. However, your company can drastically reduce this aspect of its carbon footprint by investing in or transitioning away from fossil fuels into renewable energy sources. Want to know everything about climate, greenhouse gases and how they affect the world we live in today, then you should read the “climate bible” here.

Business / How To Sell To The U.S. Market As A Foreigner by stevewrites(m): 12:40am On Jul 08, 2022 |
Do you run an overseas business? Thinking of expanding and selling into the U.S. market? Because U.S. residency or citizenship is not required, non-U.S. citizens can readily sell into the U.S. However, many overseas business owners aren’t clear on whether they are required to incorporate in the U.S. and the associated tax implications. Find out what you need to know here. https://bonch.co/article/how-to-incorporate-your-small-business-in-the-us-must-have-documents-youll-need/ |
Business / How To Start A Business In The US As A Non-citizen by stevewrites(m): 12:18am On Jul 08, 2022 |
Starting a new business is an exciting venture, but it can also be a scary one. The complexity of opening a shop in a foreign country can be overwhelming. With changes constantly happening in the political and economic climate in the US, you may even be unsure if now is the right time to get your business going. However, the United States has welcomed foreign businesses for quite some time and will likely continue to do so. The good news is that the steps to incorporating as a non-citizen are fairly simple, and there are plenty of resources available to help you along the way. Here is a detailed guide that will help break down the complexities of opening your US company. https://bonch.co/article/how-to-get-a-us-llc-business-account-as-a-non-resident/ |
Health / Climate Change Vs Big Tech: How Tech Can Impact Climate Change by stevewrites(m): 11:33pm On Jul 07, 2022 |
In a welcome development, the global climate narrative is witnessing more acceptability from diverse stakeholders across the economic spectrum. Even digital economy players, including Big Tech, have announced climate-linked goals and targets in an attempt to contribute to a sustainable future for the planet. Amazon has announced 2040 as the year it achieves a net-zero emissions and by 2025, it aims to power its operations completely by renewable energy. Facebook and Apple are eyeing 2030 as the year for net-zero emissions in their entire value chain. Microsoft, too, has pledged to be carbon-negative by 2030 and to have removed all emissions it has ever emitted by 2050. Google also joined this “race to net-zero” by announcing ambitious plans to power its operations 100 percent by renewable energy, without using renewable certificates for offsetting any fossil-generated power. We live in the most advanced time in technological innovation. Unfortunately though, early technological advancements were hardly environmentally conscious. Coal was first used in the 1880s, but on a minor scale. However, by 1961, it had become the primary fossil fuel used to generate electricity, per the U.S. Department of Energy. Thanks to scientists we have been able to uncover the harsh impact of burnt fossil fuels. Unfortunately though, we still use coal and natural gas to generate electricity. As technology has advanced, so has the number of tech gadgets made available to consumers. This increases energy consumption – directly leading to more fossil fuels being burned. The people behind today’s technological advancements are starting to shift their focus towards stopping global warming in its tracks. The Environmental Defense Fund is stepping up to the plate and dedicating its latest technological advancement to stopping methane emissions. Reducing methane emissions and cutting our carbon footprints will help ensure we continue to build upon technological innovation while taking care of the planet. With major corporations dedicating funds and resources to solar and wind technology, our society can position itself to reduce global warming.

Travel / Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by stevewrites(m): 3:50pm On Oct 06, 2021 |
Hello guys, I have a question that is really bothering me. I had my first visa interview in June this year (2021) and the second one September 2021. Unfortunately, I was denied both times. I had already deferred the admission to Spring 2022. Which will start in January. I used emergency application to apply for my last visa interview (I.e. the one I have in September). Can I also use EA to apply for another visa interview for this December? Ps: I have already paid visa fees. I have a date for next year May but I’m thinking of expediting it to an earlier date. PPS: The reason for my question is attached to the screenshot below

Hi Everyone, My F1 visa interview is this Thursday but I am a bit scared due to some reasons: 1. My 2 years work experience does not correlate with I am going to study for Msc. 2. I do not know how I can strongly demonstrate a home tie. 3. I want to ask if I can still edit my already completed DS-160 form between today and tomorrow Night. 4. I need volunteers who wouldn't mind to have mock interviews with me (Please don't air me ). If you have passed through this journey before and you prepared well, please kindly help me out. God bless you all 3 Likes |

You said something in this thread that is very key but might be unnoticed.

If you have ever been looking at means to make money easily as a freelancer in Nigeria, then read this to the end. I know for sure that anytime the word "freelancer" is mentioned, the platforms that often come to people's minds are usually Fiverr, Upwork etc. While these platforms are okay and known to be reputable, they are generally not so good for people who are just starting out. Most people enjoying them are the ones who have signed up 5-10 years ago. I have seen countless people signed up and not get any jobs because of the intense competition and that's why you need to learn about other indigenous platforms here in Nigeria where you can make money as a professional regardless of the service you offer. I have a very short but detailed guide here on how you can land high paying gigs as a freelancer --> https://blog.plaqad.com/how-to-land-freelance-jobs-on-plaqad/ |
Celebrities / How To Become A Social Media Influencer In Nigeria & Start Making Money by stevewrites(m): 5:56pm On Apr 07, 2021 |
Come to think of it. Do you know that several influencers out there are actually cashing out on various deals and brand ambassadorships? While it is normal for it to take you a little bit of time to get to where they are, you can intentionally build your brand and start killing it too. This is a subtle attempt to show you practical steps on how you can start out as an influencer. (You can read more here - https://blog.plaqad.com/how-to-become-a-social-media-influencer-in-2021) 1. Identify Your Niche- As an influencer, you cannot be a jack of all trade. You have to identify your niche by evaluating your strengths and weaknesses. Select a niche that allows you to showcase your strengths. You can choose from one of the following niches: -Fashion – Fitness – Food – Beauty – Tech etc. You do not have to limit yourself and can still choose from more than one category. 2. Pick Your Platform- As an influencer, you need to find the platform that works best for you. You don’t need to use every single social media platform, depending on your niche some platforms might be best suitable for you than others. For example, if you’re into video content, like video reviews, YouTube or Instagram will be a better platform than Facebook. 3. Publish Unique Content- Your content must be that of high quality, unique and relatable. It is important to post authentic content that resonates with your audience. This is the best way to keep your followers/audience hooked and loyal to you. 4. Listen to Your Audience- To be a good social media influencer, you have to be able to listen to your audience. It’s normal to go out of content ideas. Your audience may give you content ideas they want to see. Since they are the main reason, you are posting content, it’s advisable to listen to them. Make sure you pay attention to your comment section, you can also conduct social media polls and ask your followers for their preferences. 5. Be Consistent- This is perhaps the most important among these tips. When you deliver good content on a regular basis, your followers tend to anticipate the next one. This will in turn boost your engagements and reach. Now that you have read these tips, are you wondering where and how exactly you can get started as a social media influencer in Nigeria? Here is exactly what you should do: 1. Optimize your social media profile by starting with those tips I shared above 2. Join platforms or community like https://plaqad.com that allows you make money even as an upcoming influencer or micro-influencer. By the time you promote two or more campaigns, you start getting more brands to work with you.
