Businesses looking at ways to become more environmentally-friendly and save energy can invest in carbon accounting software to achieve their goals.

According to web author Adam Vaughn, people looking at ways of helping the environment and improving their carbon footprint should implement an achievable plan in order to become more environmentally friendly.

The eco-expert suggests that firms and consumers should implement "classic eco-saving tips", such as using energy saving light bulbs, turning off appliances rather than leaving them on stand by.

Mr Vaughn advises people to "start small and work big", as small measures will add up, suggesting that "once you start on the basics, move on" as it "does make sense to do it in order".

He added that certain measures, such as insulation, can save businesses and individuals money, while green measures such as renewable energy sources are the next step.

New research by Worcester, Bosch Group, indicate that nearly 70 per cent of Brits want more education when it comes to things like saving energy and one in five are in favour of fining people who do not use green methods.
