Climate change actions to reduce our carbon emissions
 |
Buy local and seasonal food
Locally produced food that is grown in sync with the seasons is fresher, and it doesn't take as much energy to produce it and transport it to you. |
 |
Buy renewable electricity
Every time you use electricity in your home greenhouse gases are belched out on your behalf. So buy the clean stuff! |
 |
Embrace energy efficiency
Energy conservation through the adoption of efficient technology and behaviours saves resources and money. |
 |
Install efficient appliances and fixtures
When investing in large household, appliances and fixtures, use the government's Energy and Water Ratings (Stars) to guide you to the most efficient, and save money over the long term as you continually conserve energy and water. |
 |
Install solar hot water
Sunlight converts cold water into hot water. No gasses are emitted and no-one gets hurt. Life is rarely this simple! |
