Take action

Carbon footprint

Climate change is happening now, but the actions every one of us takes can reduce its effects. We all need to reduce our carbon footprint - the greenhouse gases we emit.  We can all help protect our environment by making changes, big and small, in the way we lead our lives - particularly in the areas of transport, waste and energy use.
