In 2019, Salesforce employees traveled so much for work that they generated a combined 146,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions. That’s the same amount emitted by 17,500 homes over the course of an entire year; it would take more than 178,000 acres of forest 12 months to sequester that carbon dioxide. Even as Salesforce worked to reduce its overall carbon footprint, its business travel emissions were rapidly increasing up nearly 18% from 2017.
In 2020, everything changed: The company’s total business travel emissions dropped 86% to just 20,000 metric tons, according to its fiscal year 2021 stakeholder impact report. What had changed, of course, was the sudden halting of all travel due to COVID-19. (Salesforce’s 2021 fiscal year covers February 2020 to January 2021.)

Nearly real-time satellite imagery analysis has been spotting and stymying illegal gold mining activity in the Amazon rainforest.
The mining sector is a substantial contributor to forest ecosystem destruction, and a recent report suggests the world is behind on international goals to end global deforestation by 2030. The Amazon Conservation Association s Monitoring of the Andean Amazon Project, or MAAP, uses satellite imagery to flag potential deforestation sites and alert authorities to illegal activities across the Amazon rainforest in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Brazil and Colombia. We re able to see the most remote stretches of the Amazon, Matt Finer, senior research specialist and MAAP director, said in an interview. It almost seems like [illegal gold miners are] trying to find the most isolated, remote part of the landscape. From the satellites, the more remote and isolated, the easier it is that we see you.
