Sustainability isn’t just a global trend — it’s a responsibility we all share. Climate anxiety is real, and you’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed. According to the AXA Research Fund, 58% of young people in France and a staggering 84% in the Philippines experience deep concern about climate change.
The good news? You can take action today to ease your eco-anxiety while making a real difference for the planet. At SRC-Search, sustainability isn’t just part of our values — it’s built into how we work every day.
We believe that small, consistent actions lead to lasting impact. You don’t have to overhaul your entire lifestyle to support sustainability — even simple changes in daily habits can help protect natural resources, lower emissions, and inspire others to do the same.
Here’s how we’re reducing our environmental footprint — and how you can join us on this sustainability journey.
1. Go Paperless for a Sustainable Future
Switching to digital documents and e-signatures has drastically reduced our paper waste.
Paper production is responsible for about 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, so minimizing paper use is one of the most effective steps toward sustainability.
💡 Try this: Move to digital invoices, contracts, and meeting notes. Not only does this help the planet, it also streamlines your workflow and cuts costs.
Beyond reducing waste, going paperless increases efficiency and helps protect forests. Every ton of recycled or saved paper means fewer trees cut down, less energy used, and lower carbon emissions. For organizations aiming to meet sustainability goals, this is an easy win.
2. Switch to Reusables to Reduce Waste
Single-use plastics? Not in our office. We’ve replaced them with ceramic mugs, reusable bottles, and metal utensils.
The average person generates over 4.4 pounds of disposable plastic waste per day, much of which ends up in oceans. Using reusables is one of the easiest and most impactful sustainability habits you can adopt.

Replacing disposables with reusables might feel like a minor act, but it builds a culture of environmental awareness. Over time, these habits influence others — coworkers, clients, and even suppliers — to think more sustainably. Sustainability spreads when people see that eco-friendly choices are simple and practical.
3. Start Composting — Give Waste a Second Life
We’ve introduced bokashi composting bins in our break rooms so food scraps now have a second life — nourishing office plants or supporting local community gardens.
Composting reduces landfill waste, lowers methane emissions, and enriches soil health — all key to long-term sustainability.
💚 Tip: If you work remotely, start a small compost bin at home. It’s easier (and cleaner) than you think!
Even a small composting setup can have a big impact. Instead of sending food waste to landfills, composting returns valuable nutrients to the soil. This simple sustainability action supports urban gardening, reduces overall waste volume, and fosters a sense of responsibility toward nature.
Your turn to act
From going paperless to composting, every small change adds up. Not only does taking action reduce your carbon footprint, but it also helps combat eco-anxiety by giving you a sense of purpose and progress.
When we embrace sustainability, we build healthier communities and workplaces. Individual efforts — from reducing plastic use to improving recycling habits — collectively shape a more sustainable economy.
Ready to start your sustainability journey? Every step — no matter how small — matters. Let’s work together to create a greener, more resilient planet for future generations.
At SRC-Search, we know that sustainability is a journey, not a destination. Together, through small steps and shared purpose, we can create lasting impact.
