Sustainability Can a significant pay rise realistically not affect my carbon impact? – GWC Mag gwcmagJanuary 17, 2024032 views In a previous part of my life, to reduce my environmental footprint, I consciously kept my salary low. My thinking was, even saving the money wouldn’t help, as banks would invest them in energy demanding projects. I am under the assumption that businesses should report salary levels as part of their GHG reporting. Whilst that would be at an aggregate level, for the individual, what’s the connection between salary level and environmental footprint? Simply put: If I get a significant pay rise (e.g. 30K USD), will I realistically be able to avoid this affecting my carbon impact? If yes, how?
