At T1A, we understand the pressing need to address climate change and its impact on our planet. If CO2 emissions continue to rise unchecked, the Arctic could be ice-free in the summer by 2040 which will affect the entire planet.
The melting ice and diminishing snow cover disrupt the delicate balance that keeps our planet cool because the white reflects the heat back from the sun into space, leading to more intense heatwaves worldwide. Imagine hotter summers and colder winters.
But the consequences go beyond mere temperature fluctuations. Global warming results in severe droughts during summers, posing a threat to global food systems. This instability translates into higher prices for you and exacerbates the already mounting crises faced by the world’s most vulnerable populations. The impacts are clear: less food security and increased challenges for countless communities.
The rising sea levels are another alarming consequence of climate change. Since 1900, global average sea levels have risen by approximately 7-8 inches, and the trend is accelerating. Coastal cities and small island nations face heightened risks as coastal flooding and storm surges worsen, amplifying the destructive power of extreme weather events. If this trend continues unchecked, we could witness a catastrophic rise of up to 20 feet, resulting in the loss of inhabitable land for our fast-growing global population.
It’s not just the human population that suffers; the loss of sea ice and melting permafrost poses a dire threat to the remarkable biodiversity of our planet. Iconic species like polar bears, walruses, arctic foxes, snowy owls, and reindeer are forced to adapt rapidly or face extinction. As these keystone species are affected, entire ecosystems suffer, including the delicate balance between wildlife and indigenous communities. Increasingly, human-wildlife conflicts will arise as animals seek refuge in Arctic communities due to the disappearance of their natural habitats.
At T1A, we recognize the urgency to act. By purchasing refurbished IT equipment, you actively contribute to reducing electronic waste and the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing new devices. Together, we can strive for a more sustainable future and preserve our planet for future generations.
We are a Danish refurbishing company, built on a circular economy logics. It is deeply rooted in our DNA to reduce global CO2 emissions and e-waste, by giving the end-of-use IT equipment an extended lifecycle.
