CoolOz - people taking action on climate change

Welcome to CoolOz tribe - people taking action on climate change in our lives and communities. Let's all become carbon neutral as our individual contribution to combatting the emissions of carbon dioxide - protecting our home and our futures.

Being carbon neutral is a way of living our lives without contributing any emissions to climate change.

Let’s work together to:
::: Be carbon neutral in our own lives
::: Achieve 30% reduction in Australia’s emissions to 395 million tonnes CO2-e by 2020
::: Achieve at least a 60% reduction in Australia’s emissions to 225 million tonnes CO2-e by 2050

If you think a small thing can't make a difference - remember trying to sleep when there's a mosquito in the bedroom!

It only takes 1 person to change the world.

So let's get started...

The two quickest, easiest and most effective ways to becoming carbon neutral in a heartbeat are:

1. Purchase greenpower for your home (available from all electricity companies, often at exactly the same price you already pay - check out http://www.greenpower.gov.au/pages/Home-Who-Sells.php)

2. Reduce your car and air travel (Where you must travel, carbon offsets are available from organisations like Climate Positive, Carbon Planet and Greenfleet - check the links)

There are loads of other great ideas and useful info on this site, so please explore and add your own thoughts and suggestions.
