I think I’m pretty good at this, but I guess I’ll be horrified when I actually work it out!
First things I can think of to do;
- Keep my car as long as I can. Most of the energy and toxins a car will produce come from making it, so I’m planning to keep mine a long time. 200k miles target (!)
- Buy energy efficient bulbs. Most of the house has them, but will do a sweep and change the rest.
- Sort out my plugs so that I can flick switches off at night and not leave things on standby (some things need to stay on, so I need to make sure they’re on separate plugs
That’s it for a first target. I buy everything locally and organic, so food-miles should be low, live close to work, cycle a lot. Unfortunately I travel a lot with work, which is going to kill my footprint!
Any suggestions?
