Can Bisley Handyman become Carbon Neutral?
We’re literally suffocating the planet with our CO2 emissions, so making sure that our impact
is as minimal as possible is everyone’s responsibility, business owner or otherwise.
So what can be done? We can all make a different by reducing waste, using more efficient
materials, reducing our use of fossil fuels and by using carbon neutral companies. The
reality of the modern world is that we cannot reduce our emissions to zero so in order to
become carbon neutral we must use carbon offsetting. This is achieved by investing in
projects to immediately reduce emissions as well as planting trees to reduce carbon from the
environment for years to come.
Bisley Handyman Services has teamed up with Ecologi.com, a Gold Standard accredited company to take care of their tree planting and carbon off setting. The trees and projects they have contributed to are
visible on their website along with details and photos. Visit
As a company they are covering the cost of offsetting their general operating, vehicle use and
labour carbon footprint. Furthermore they offer customers the option to make a small
additional contribution on specific jobs to make them carbon neutral. They continue to
use responsibly sourced materials and consider the environmental impact of materials.
So far in 2022 (as of Mid Feb) the company has planted 824 trees and saved over 10 tonnes of CO2
emissions. The majority of the trees are planted in developing countries where trees can be
planted at a more affordable price whilst also contributing to local economies but trees are
also planted in the UK. A high number of the trees planted are Mangrove species as they
sequester carbon at a rate two to four times greater than mature tropical forests.
