What can I do?


With continued media interest in Climate Change and constant the talk about the tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) we emit, the question is: "What can I do?".

The answer is: "LOADS!".

There are four stages to having a personal positive impact on climate change:

1. Know your carbon footprint

2. Reduce the energy you use

3. Be efficient with the energy you need

4. Produce your own energy

1. Know your Carbon Footprint

Find out the amount of CO2 you emit personally and where is comes from. The best way to do this is by using a carbon calculator like our Carbon Workout. Give it a try and find out how your CO2 emissions compare to the national average.

2. Reduce the energy you use

With some minor changes CO2 can be reduced. By un-plugging the microwave and driving with eco-skills, just to name a few, your overall CO2 can be squashed. Most of these actions are free.

3. Be efficient with the energy you need

Becoming energy efficient will not only save you CO2 it will also save you money. With a minimal financial outlay items like loft insulation and energy efficient light bulbs can cut your energy bills and reduce CO2.
>> Go to cost effective savings

4. Produce your own energy

The next step is to enter the exciting world of renewable technology where natural resources like the sun is harnessed to produce electricity and heat water. This involves some financial outlay but the rewards are well worth it.
