Carbon In Construction | Aaron Fleming-Saheed, Cycling Sparks (S2E02)

Metpro Insights

Carbon emissions. Climate change. COP23. ULEZ. Greta Thunberg. Embodied carbon. Just Stop Oil. Solar panels. Nuclear. Wind power. Tidal power. The planet is cooling. The planet is warming. Planes, trains and automobiles.
The climate change conversation is one that has become quite overwhelming. With this topic featuring in an ever-growing number of conversations at all levels of all industries, and with so many routes to go down as a business, how can you know what you even should be doing?
One business that has focused on themselves and the change that they can effect is London-based Cycling Sparks, established and built by Aaron Fleming-Saheed. Having ditched their vans for e-cargo bikes, Aaron and his team are revolutionising the industry as they aim to do things differently and better, all with a significantly reduced carbon footprint.
We sat down with Aaron to discuss how this new way of working came about, his views on the climate conversation, how the construction industry can work better in relation to carbon emissions, and much more.
