It’s something many of us want to know - what can we do? How much difference will it make if I change a light bulb, or leave the car at home? Now that the government of BC has declared its commitment to reduce BC’s greenhouse gas emissions by 33% by 2020, we all need to play our part. But which part? And how can I calculate my emissions? It’s quite simple, really. There are six main ways that we contribute to global warming: - Driving.
- Flying.
- The energy we
use in our homes. - The wastes we send to the
landfill. - The stuff we buy.
- The
food we eat.
Calculate it here and learn how to go Carbon Neutral. There are many calculators to choose from, we will have to decide on the most appropriate for homes. http://www.davidsuzuki.org/Climate_Change/What_You_Can_Do/carbon_neutral_steps.asp http://www.onelesstonne.ca/home.cfm
