Painless ways to reduce your CO2
On this blog, we’re going to start posting weekly ideas for simple ways to reduce your CO2 output – easy to do for just about anyone, and if you subscribe, you’ll get them sent right to your inbox. The idea is that if you add one new habit every week or even just once a month, by the end of the year you’ll have made painless changes to your lifestyle that have a big impact on reducing your impact on global warming and your CO2 emissions footprint. Some are familiar, but some are new, I’ll have some really creative ideas on this list in the coming weeks.
Just to get you started, here’s an easy way to save electricity: Turn off your lights when you leave the house, go to bed, leave a room, leave your office at work for more than a half hour. Turn off your ocmputer monitor, plasma TV, excess electronics, phone charger – just go around and take a look at everything that’s plugged in, and unplug it, or shut it off. Do that every day for a week and see if you don’t lower your power use.
There are plenty of simple ways to incorporate alternative energy into your lifestyle. Some small examples are solar deck rail lights, solar powered attic fans, and other similar products now available on the market. You can find many, many other options to start to reduce your use of fossil-fuel generated electricity.
Post you best idea here too – combining our efforts is the key to making small changes into big ones!

I have a very large corner bath – 1500 x 1500 and I have looked everywhere for a bath panel to fit it with no luck (everything I’ve found is too tall).
SO – I am looking for genius ideas of how I can fill/cover the space that the bath panel has left!

Anything to help the environment for my family, myself and my future generation. It is a responsibility we have to all take upon ourselves with strict discipline.

Great tips. Here is an energy saving tip from me: use a latest generation kettle to boil water and boil only as much as you plan to consume. This really makes a big difference!

There really are so many easy ways for everyone to reduce their carbon footprint but sometimes I think people either think it’s too hard or they’re just darn lazy.

I practise what I preach and use solar deck lights on my decking along with using them along the path leading to the house. Further to this I have a solar motion alarm that keeps intruders at bay. For night lighting around my yard there are fairy lights all powered by solar power.
Thank you for starting this thread, every success in building it with great ideas!
