10 Days of Climate Tips!

For the next 10 days I would like to share some tips on how individuals can reduce their Greenhouse gas emissions.

Check back every day for a new tip!

• Cutting down on the amount you and your family fly will make a huge difference to your carbon “footprint” (11/1)

• Avoid short car journeys. A cold engine uses almost twice as much fuel as a warmer one.  Take a walk or bike ride and enjoy the fresh air. (11/2)

• Buy local and seasonal where possible. Getting produce out of season usually means importing it (11/3)

• Switching from traditional light bulbs to CFLs simple change everyone can make. (11/4)

• Only use a washing machine on full-load.  (11/5)

• Switch off the engine if you think you will be stationary for more than two minutes. Idling for this long burns more fuel than it takes to restart the engine. (11/6)

• Think twice before buying clothes. Take your clothes to a second-hand store or charity collection bin. When buying clothes, try to avoid cheap imports. Try to buy well-made and durable clothes made of natural materials if possible, buy from an eco-company www.WearTheEarth.com. (11/7)

• Keep your car tires properly inflated. It’s estimated that up to 80 per cent of car tires are under-inflated, which can increase fuel consumption, and therefore emissions – as well as increasing wear and tear. (11/8)
