Making A Difference
Being environmentally aware isn’t just about knowing how much damage industrial processes in far flung countries are doing to nature, it’s about knowing exactly how you can make a difference in your day to day life. The best place to start is in the little things, bits of your behaviour that you could change without compromising your lifestyle too much.
Most of these are based upon the habits of excess and laziness that it is easy to fall in to in the western world, things such as walking for short journeys instead of taking the car, or carpooling for regular journeys such as the commute to work or the school run. All of these little contributions obviously add up, but if you’re serious about making a difference then there are one or two larger changes you can make that will make a significant contribution by themselves.
The first is to trade in your petrol car for a more eco-friendly model. Jumping straight in with a hybrid fuel vehicle might be a little overkill for most as the selection is fairly limited at present, but downsizing to a more economical city car would limit your emissions while reducing your day to day running costs.
Another option is to install double glazing throughout your home. Double glazing helps keep more of the temperature generated by your heaters and radiators from escaping, thus your house requires less heating, you use less fuel and produce fewer emissions – plus you’ll save a fair bit of cash in the long term!
