Individual involvement

What can I do?

In the face of a problem like global warming, we sometimes feel powerless as individuals and we don’t believe that anything we do will make an impact. But if every individual changes just one or two things about the way they live, it can all add up to make a huge and positive difference.

We all lead busy, pressured lives and often don't feel we have the energy or time to make the changes we know we should.

The good news is that just a few simple adjustments can really help improve our environment, both now and for future generations. And lots of them have the added advantage of saving you money as well - so go on, give something a try!

There are plenty of ideas in this section to get you started.
