Fight Climate Change

Here are 7 simple things you can do and how much CO2 you’ll save doing them…

  1. Replacing one regular incandescent light bulb with a CFL will save 70 kgs of CO2 a year.
  2. Walk, cycle, car-pool or take public transport more often. You'll save one kg of CO2 for every 3.5 km you don’t drive!
  3. You can save 1080 kgs of CO2 every year by recycling just half of your household waste.
  4. Keeping your tyres inflated properly can improve mileage by more than 3%. Every litre of petrol saved keeps 3 kgs of CO2 out of the atmosphere!
  5. You can save 540 kgs of CO2 if you cut down your garbage by 10%.
  6. Simply turning off your TV, DVD player, stereo and computer when you’re not using them will save you thousands of kgs of CO2 a year.
