Things We Can Change Today To Cut Our Carbon Footprint.

Never mind politicians, we have to change our habits from today onward.

Here are just a few ideas:

  • Plant a garden ( flower pot on your balcony ) and include bee friendly flowers.
  • Line or air dry your laundry. Tumble dryers use a lot of electricity.
  • Eat local produce as much as possible.
  • Shop at second hand stores.
  • Stop eating meat and if you can, go plant-based. Agribusiness is a worse polluter than transportation.
  • Recycle as much as possible.
  • Plant trees and stop cutting them down for a two week use over Christmas.
  • Walk more or use public transport.
  • Make your own coffee, good old fashioned filter coffee.
  • Switch off lights when you don't need them.
  • Boil only as much water as you need. Overfilling your kettle wastes electricity.
  • Make your own lunch and take it to work in a reusable container.
  • Cover your pots while cooking.
  • Don't drive too fast. Speeding uses more petrol.
  • Consume less.
