There is greater access to renewable energy

Eco-conscious companies are questioning the need to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, says Gustavo Copelmayer. This non-renewable energy source is one of the main causes of climate change on the planet. As of 2017, fossil fuels accounted for 80% of energy in the United States. While this number seems depressing, says Gustavo Copelmayer, this is the lowest share since 1902. Renewable energy now accounts for 11%, the largest share since 1910 in this country.

From wind turbines, solar panels, or even geothermal energy, renewable energy technology is becoming more and more affordable. This will likely allow people to invest in renewable energy sources without spending too much on installation costs. We can ensure that the collective effort to invest and improve energy infrastructure is having a significant impact. Solar and wind energy are not only technologically promising, but the trends towards micro-generation of electricity in homes using these renewable energy technologies are also extremely encouraging. It is necessary to invest in sustainability efforts, particularly in the world of business, Gustavo Copelmayer concludes.
