A Lighter Footprint provides all the information and resources needed to teach you how to minimise your personal impact on climate change.Global warming is arguably the biggest problem facing humanity today. We all now know that, every day, each choice we make has a significant, collective impact on the global environment. Yet Australians on average have one of the highest ecological footprints in the world. 'A Lighter Footprint provides the information and resources you need to combat climate change. It doesn't mean you have to deny yourself any of the pleasures or the benefits of living in the 21st century. It will show you ways to use the resources we have in a smarter, more efficient way that will actually help you to save money.' A Lighter Footprint is a practical handbook for everyone to use. It contains hundreds of simple, practical, day-to-day suggestions that will help you to reduce your footprint. By following just a few suggestions in the book, you can reduce your own emissions and your family's emissions by well over 70 per cent in just a few months, or possibly even a few days. Angela has reduced her ecological footprint to 20% of what it was when she started. She's still working on it... * The ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT QUIZ estimates how much productive land and water you need to support the resources you consume and the waste you throw away in daily life. |
