Reducing Carbon Footprint

For Organizations

A lot of organizations or companies have been trying to go green. Some ways are recycling plastic, metal and paper.

For the average Individual

• The average person can do a lot to help out the world. They can always turn off the electricity in the household when done using it. Do your weekly shopping in a single trip. Hang out the washing to dry rather than tumble drying it. Check the central heating timer setting - remember there is no point heating the house after you have left for work, or school.

Things to help your household

• Fit energy saving light bulbs.• Insulate your hot water tank, your loft and

your walls.• Recycle your grey water.• Replace your old fridge / freezer (if it is over

15 years old), with a new one with energy efficiency rating of "A“.

Travel Use

• Use the bus or a train rather than your car.• See if your employer will allow you to work

from home one day a week.• For short journeys either walk or cycle.• Next time you replace your car, check out

diesel engines. With one of these you can even make your own Biodiesel fuel.
