What are the major contributions I make to global
warming?
What can I do to change this today?
Switch my electricity bill to an sustainable
energy company.
Ecotricity is an electricity
company that uses 100% wind power, it will
take you 5 mins to switch online and the only difference you
will see is your bill will come from them next month. This
the single biggest, and easiest thing you can do to becoming
carbon neutral.
 Also
you can change your light bulbs to the energy saving variety
and make sure you don’t leave home entertainment equipment
’on standby’ and this will save you money and
energy.
Drive Less
Drive less aggressively from standstill , use a hybrid,
or use bio fuels in your existing vehicle. Any diesel car
can run on bio diesel, you can purchase bio diesel online
and have it delivered to your home from around 80p a litre.
Call us to find a supplier or look online for
suppliers, support them and demand will drive the price down,
unlike the price of crude oil! You can even look into making
your own bio diesel from about 30p a litre, and is not as
technical as you might think!
Offset your airline emissions
by donating to green charities that invest in projects that
save rainforests or plant new trees, or build sustainable
energy sources for the developing world. Or you can donate
your air miles to this organisation.
 Also
we need to make a lot more effort to reuse or recycle
our waste. We need to be less wasteful and more conscious
of our energy usage. Avoid disposable products or wastefully
packaged produce.
Make yourself heard, join local groups, get
involved, shop organic, why not grow some of your own produce?
Install solar panels or wind turbines to your
house and become self sufficient.
Vote for politicians who take these issues seriously.
Hold them to their word, but understand it is up to us, theindividual
to make those changes that we can now.
