1. Switch to renewable electricity
It will take you 5 minutes and it will make a huge difference.
Here's some more information.
Once you've done it, tell everyone else to do the same!
2. Join the amazing revolution of people making their local town plastic bag free
Plastic bags consumed so far this year, worldwide:
Plastic bags don't go away. They kill hundreds of thousands of birds, fish and other marine life every year. In fact, there are 43,000 - 1,000,000 pieces of plastic floating in EVERY SQUARE MILE OF OCEAN WORLDWIDE. More info.
3. If you do nothing else, just have a look at these inspiring websites (just click on the names)
War on Want, WDM, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, CPRE, Media Lens
4. Join the growing number of people only giving their hard-earned money to local shops, not to supermarkets' shareholders.
Why?
You'll save money, enjoy shopping, and cut down on environmental damage - and your stress levels!
If there are no local shops where you are, why not start one up! It'll be fun, challenging, and you'll be achieving something amazing, and it'll be much more interesting than going into the office every day.
5. Give up our cars and join the local carclub
Walking and cycling makes us happier!
More reasons why.
No local carclub? Petition a carclub to start where you are! They are small, friendly & responsive companies (except for streetcar who are getting a bit big for their boots).
Bonus - get a compost bin!
:-)
Extra bonus - subscribe to media lens
