Eclipse Digital Fight Climate Change and Improve Lives

Eclipse Digital Fight Climate Change and Improve Lives

by | 4 Mar 2019 | Business Developments | 0 comments

Eclipse Digital Media use ClimateCare.org to offset its carbon emissions with projects that improve lives and fight climate change.

As part of Eclipse Digital’s approach to taking responsibility for our impact on the environment we have partnered with climate and sustainable development experts ClimateCare to offset the carbon emissions associated with unavoidable operations of our business such as travel for installations.

As well as taking actions to reduce its footprint through green energy tariffs and recycling, unavoidable emissions have been and will continue be offset through projects including the multiple award-winning LifeStraw Carbon for Water Project, which delivers safe water to more than 4 million people in Kenya, generating significant carbon reductions and enhancing the health of local communities by reducing exposure to waterborne disease.

Other projects include the Solar in India which saves 150,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually as well as creating over 500 jobs and the largest Wind power project in Argentina that saves 190,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.

“We are delighted to work with ClimateCare who, with fifteen years’ experience, are running some of the most innovative and largest carbon offset programmes in the world. Working with them has helped us understand how we can integrate action to tackle climate change and improve people’s lives.”
Colin Thody, Director

ClimateCare’s Head of Partnerships explains “We are working with a range of organisations, from international corporates, governments and NGOs to deliver innovative projects at an unprecedented scale. Our Climate+Care model helps organisations take a smart approach to addressing their environmental impacts by offsetting their carbon emissions and supporting sustainable development”.

Carbon Offsetting through Climate and Development Projects

As of January 2019, Eclipse Digital Media has offset 14.98 tonnes of Co2 through projects which tackle global climate change and improve lives.

By offsetting our emissions through ClimateCare we are supporting projects that make a measurable difference to people’s lives as well as protecting the environment including:

  • Fighting climate change
  • Improving health
  • Creating jobs
  • Preserving local resources
  • Protecting wildlife
  • Saving families money

View our Carbon Offset Certificate

Example Project: LifeStraw Water Filters – Providing Safe Water in Kenya

The award winning LifeStraw Carbon for Water project provides simple, gravity fed water filters for families in Kenya. It not only provides safe drinking water to 4 million people, it cuts carbon emissions by removing the need to boil water in order to make it safe to drink.

Eclipse Digital Media work with Climate and Development Experts ClimateCare to support this and other projects in the Climate+Care Portfolio.

“Nowadays, I am healthy and I carry LifeStraw water wherever I go, so my life has improved health wise. Stomach complains for me and my family is a long gone history.” – Diana Busuru, Bosio Village

“LifeStraw has helped me to access safe water and avoid waterborne illnesses. The children are healthy and they have been taught about its importance. Also by improving health, there is a notable decrease in hospital expenses.” – James Ndmbi, Namalenge Village

Research by the Gold Standard Foundation found that for every tonne of carbon offset through projects like LifeStraw Carbon for Water, it will deliver $117 of health impacts and $1 of employment.

According to researchers at Imperial College in work carried out for the International Carbon Reduction and Offset Alliance (ICROA) offsetting one tonne of carbon dioxide brings an additional $664 in benefits to the communities where carbon reduction projects are based.

Digital Signage & The Connected Meeting Room

Digital Signage & The Connected Meeting Room

by | 11 May 2017 | AV, Installations

The meeting room is an area of high importance. It’s the point of first impressions, the place of making or breaking of deals, and a garden of productivity.

The aim of this post is to showcase just some of the AV opportunities available to make your meeting room as productive and impressionable as possible. Here are some of our key ingredients…

Eclipse Digital Media Digital Signage Hotel Room Booking Solution

The Room-Sharking Repellant.

I’m sure most people can relate to the annoyance of either having no meeting rooms available or having someone linger outside and barge into your room mid-presentation. Room Booking software and meeting room displays combat this.

Room booking screens combat room-sharking allowing clear identification of free space from a distance. Green its free, red its booked. Certain Room Booking displays also offer external status LED’s that you can’t miss. The Reserva solution also offers on-the-fly booking via touchscreen.

Intelligent Room booking software allows two-way communication between not only the built-in online calendar, but can integrate with existing Office 365, Exchange, Scientia and Micros Opera accounts.

A Reserva summary display showing all up and coming meetings is a great addition for any reception or communal area.

The Hybrid Display

Digital Signage and Presentation Display… at the same time. Your brand ethos can be reenforced through digital signage internal communications. Push the latest company news and achievements to staff and visitors.

Plug your laptop or tablet via HDMI to present to present on the big screen. This set-up allows for the presentation to be contained in a chosen zone allowing for important additional content to be displayed at all times. Creating a live, interactive experience. Live TV or IPTV broadcasts can be implemented into your signage to create powerful, up-to-date information.

The Future of Whiteboards

Start with a blank canvas or draw, highlight and edit over presentations on the fly. Providing the ability to visually display and explore new ideas. Both CleverTouch and Samsung both offer premium interactive whiteboard solutions in a range of capability and sizes. 

Gone are the days of Easels and Flipcharts, were photos would need to be taken to distrubute the contents to participants. CleverTouch whiteboards allow documents, presentations and edits can be quickly shared via the whiteboards own email address.

Simple just got more simple.

9 in 10 office workers experience technology-related stress in meetings. Embarking on the task to decipher how to connect your laptop to the main presentation display can be somewhat frustraiting without the right hardware or adaptors. This is why we’ve found Barco ClickShare, it just works. With the majority of devices supporting traditional USB 2.0, just plug in, click, and present. No software required.

For those without a USB port, a ClickShare app is avaliable to wirelessly stream from your device to the display. Certain ClickShare devices also support Apple’s AirPlay and Google Cast making streaming from MacOS, iOS and Chrome OS devices easier than ever.

If You’re Feeling Extravagant…

An Indoor LED or videowall is the way to go. Give your meeting room the power to ‘wow’ and leave your stakeholders or potential clients impressed. LED walls and Videowalls create an attention-grabbing centerpiece, ideal for displaying live data, statistics and social feeds.
