Have a Climate Care Day!
Climate Care Day is an initiative created by Arkadin Global Conferencing and supported by WWF which aims exactly for that: to provide businesses with a way to save costs while taking a stand against climate change.
The concept is easy: a working day without travel.
The difference is that if you are a customer of Arkadin's services, besides not polluting you'll also be donating to WWF's projects around the world.

- On this one day, all you have to do is replace any business travel with a virtual audio & web conference call through Arkadin services
- Arkadin will donate all billed revenue from that day directly to a number of WWF climate change prevention schemes
