Learn more about going green, with an electric bike…Going green has never been so much fun!
For many people, the concept of ‘going green’ has more to do with seasickness or with the leftovers in the fridge overstaying their welcome than it does with the environment.The truth is, ‘going green’ really does matter.
Global warming and its effects are increasingly making headlines.Whilst the experts don’t necessarily agree in their assessments of climate change and its implications, there seems little doubt that the earth is getting warmer and something needs to be done.
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.From 1990 – 2004, global carbon emissions increased by 28%.
Each person in Australia is now emits more than five tones of carbon per year. For example, over four tonnes of carbon dioxide are giving off each year by the average car.About seven tonnes of greenhouse gases are produced annually by the average Aussie household just through the use of domestic electricity.
There are many ways of reducing our carbon footprint, and it is incumbent on each of us to make an effort.Essentially, we have two footprints, namely our primary one in terms of our own way of life and our secondary footprint which we contribute to through our buying choices.There are green choices.
There are companies taking the lead through positive environmental actions.
