Change a light bulb

Replacing one light bulb with an energy saving bulb will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

Drive Less

Walk, bike, take the bus/train. You'll save one pound of CO2 for every mile you don't drive.

Recycle More

You can save 2,400 pounds of CO2 per year just by recycling half of your household waste.

Check your tires

Keeping your tires properly inflated can improve mileage by more than 3%.

Use less hot water

It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead.

Avoid products with a lot of packaging

You can save 1200 pounds of CO2 if you cut down waste by 10%.

Adjust your thermostat

Walk, bike, take the bus/train. You'll save one pound of CO2 for every mile you don't drive.

Plant a tree

A single tree will absorb over a ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime

Turn off electronic devices

Simply turning off your TV, DVD player, stereo and computer when you're not using them will save thousands of kilos of carbon dioxide each year.

Switch to a renewable energy supplier

Switching to a greener electricity tariff could save the average UK household 40 tons of CO2 each year. It also drives up the cost of pollution credits (RECS) for the big polluters forcing them to consider renewable energy. This creates a virtuous loop where more investment leads to improved efficiencies, in turn making renewable energy cheaper and even more attractive to big companies.

If every household in the UK followed this simple climate change action plan we could have a profound impact. Together, we can make a difference...
