Waste
Every day we throw away food, packaging and unwanted items that go straight to landfill. The breakdown of waste in landfills produces methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that can escape to the atmosphere and cause global warming.
Energy
We needlessly waste energy at home and at work. More than 40% of the UK's CO2 emissions come from the choices we make as individuals. Simple things that we hardly think about, like leaving the lights on, can have an impact.
Travel
Nearly a quarter of all carbon emissions come from road transport as congestion on the road increases. We can do something about it.
Don't throw rubbish away - there is no 'away'... it doesn't magically disappear, it sticks around for thousands of years.
