Unfortunately, diesel engines are a significant source of CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions. What&#8217;s more, compared to gasoline-powered engines, diesel-powered engines emit higher amounts of CO<sub>2<\/sub> per mile travelled. The high percentage of CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions harm the environment, exacerbating the pressing issue of climate change. As such, it is vital to reduce environmental footprints where possible. From decreasing the dependence on fossil fuel in its operations, Floristique helms the beginning of the paradigm shift towards a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n<p><b>An Electrifying Solution <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Since the purchase of its fleet of 7 electric vans, Floristique is now able to operate with the assurance that they have now made a more impactful step towards sustainability. Furthermore, this shift towards electric vehicles has serendipitously brought about a reduction in operating costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believed that we could, and should be doing more [as a business]. It was a good investment that has only provided benefits \u2014 both environmentally and as an added bonus of being more cost-effective to business operations,\u201d shared Han, founder of Floristique Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonally, I do not hold much regard for being the first florist to make this transition but I do hope that it might inspire more businesses to do the same,\u201d she continues.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hashtag: <\/b>#floristique #florist #flowers #ecofriendly #environment<\/p>\n<p><em>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/singapore\/2023\/01\/16\/192397\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE &#8211; Media OutReach &#8211; 16 January 2023 &#8211; Floristique Singapore starts 2023 as a trailblazer, being the first Florist to transition away from diesel-powered vehicles \u2014 known for their high CO2 emissions \u2014 towards electric-powered ones.
