Greenhouse Gas Mitigation: Doing Your Bit Dave Reay GHGonline.org Copyright © 2003

Current Public Thinking More than 50% of us already recycle paper. More than 40% of us recycle glass. Around 40% of us have cut down on our household electricity or gas use and/or deliberately not used their car. Together with road traffic and air pollution, climate change is the issue we think will be of most concern to us in 20 years time. (Source: Office for National Statistics 2002)

What can we do? Reduction strategies for each of us

‘“We have a responsibility to take action, but it is also in our own interests to do so. Measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can be good for the economy, for businesses and for our communities.”

“Start the day by using a tooth mug - that saves 10 litres of water. It makes you think environment and save energy all the rest of the day.”

‘The greatest things are accomplished by individual people, not by committees or companies’
