For some people, ‘going green’ is more of a fashion choice rather than a concern for the environment.In reality though, the environment really matters.
Global warming is becoming an increasingly ‘hot’ topic.Whilst not everyone agrees about the magnitude of climate change, the evidence points to the earth becoming warmer and everyone agrees that action is needed. .
Global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating, transport etc. which produces greenhouse gases. A carbon footprint is the measure of all the greenhouse gases that we produce in our daily lives and is measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), commonly referred to as carbon emissions.In 14 years, between 1990 and 2004, global carbon emissions increased 28%.
Each person in Australia now emits over 5 tonnes of carbon annually. For example, an average car gives off over 4 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.Domestic electricity consumption by an average Australian home produces around 7 tonnes of greenhouse gases each year.
We all need to make a contribution and find ways of reducing our carbon footprint.Our primary footprint is that of our own daily lifestyle and our secondary footprint is the one we contribute to via our purchasing choices. We can buy green.
There are companies taking the lead through positive environmental actions.
