Welcome to our Climate Action at Home page, where you can find practical tips and resources to help you reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a sustainable future. From energy savings to waste reduction, we've got you covered!
A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide (CO2), that are released into the atmosphere because of our activities. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.
Everyday actions like driving a car, using electricity, or even the food we eat can produce carbon emissions. Our carbon footprint measures how much of these gases we’re responsible for. The more we use energy from fossil fuels (like coal, oil, or gas), the larger our carbon footprint becomes.
Reducing our carbon footprint means making choices that create less pollution, like using renewable energy, recycling, and driving less. By doing this, we help slow down climate change and protect the environment.
Did you know you can calculate your household's carbon footprint? By using Climate Hero, you can firstly calculate your carbon footprint and secondly commit to reducing that footprint by making smart changes around your home.
