5 Tips to Save Energy and Fight Climate Change
- Travel Light
Leave the car at home and walk or ride your bike instead. If you live too far from work for either of those options then take public transport. If that’s too hard then at least car pool. Even if you take one of these options just once or twice per week then you’ll make a difference. - See the Light
As the bulbs in your home blow, replace them with compact fluorescent light bulbs. They use significantly less energy and are much cheaper in the long run. For more information read this article. - Recycle and Use Recycled Products
It’s easy to recycle in Australia as we have special bins designated for that exact purpose. If you don’t have a recycling bin at your place of work then introduce one. Don’t forget to recycle your mobile phone when you buy a new one. - Inflate Your Tires
Something as simple as inflating the tires of your car can make a big difference to your fuel consumption. It is recommended that you check the level of your tires every month. Here are a few more tips on efficient driving and reducing your fuel consumption. - Act Globally Eat Locally
Try to buy locally produced food as often as possible. This saves on transportation which saves energy. There are many farmers’ markets around Australia where you can buy fresh, organic, and locally produced fruit and vegetables.
