What can I do?
Your everyday Choices matter

Plan
Commit to reducing your impact on the climate by more than half of what it is today by 2030. Check out the carbon calculator at Low Carbon Living which produces a detailed carbon footprint analysis and provides users with their own interactive user portal including custom recommendations and an action plan. Free for households.
Plant Trees
As many as you can join your local Landcare group or seek others with an active tree-planting program. Get out there when you can, and when you can’t support others who do so.
Get Active
Join a local group taking action to reduce emissions, working with communities to address climate change (there are over 70 local groups in Australia) eg Climate Action Network Australia (CANA) or WinZero
Get Political
Decide that you will be part of the politics of the future. You will vote for, campaign for and support candidates who champion emissions reductions Ask your local parties/candidates what action they will take in government to address climate change impacts. Vote for the political party that pledges to take practical action on climate change. Write letters to politicians – snail mail if you can – form a letter-writing group, keep up the pressure demanding a National Action Plan on Climate Change
Building or Renovating

Consuming less means wasting fewer resources and making sustainable decisions for everyday living.

Living in this way not only helps the environment, but encourages greater community connections and can save money too. Less can be so much more!
