Climate Change: How to Play Your Part.
| How big is your carbon footprint? Find out using the Act On CO2 carbon calculator. You'll be asked some questions about how you heat & power your home, the appliances you use and how you travel. You’ll then receive a unique action plan, suggesting simple changes to help you reduce your carbon emissions. |  |
Reduce your impact on climate change by:
 |
Save energy Making your home and your workplace more energy efficient. To find out how, see our pages on energy efficiency. |
 |
Cut waste Cutting down the amount of waste you produce by reducing, reusing and recycling. To find out how, see our pages on Waste and Recycling. |
 |
Travel wisely Reducing the amount of energy you use whilst travelling. To find out how, see our pages on Transport and Travel |
 |
Use green energy Use electricity from renewable sources (such as wind, sun or water) instead of fossil fuels. All suppliers are obliged to produce some of their energy from renewables- contact yours for details or compare green tariffs online.
