Everyone can make small changes towards more sustainable and
less carbon intensive lifestyles. Most of these actions save money,
too. Some examples of these types of changes are listed below, and
you may already have taken some of them on board.
To play your part, you could...
- reduce, reuse, recycle more
- take public transport, walk or cycle to work
- switch to energy efficient light bulbs
- volunteer in one of the many open spaces both within and
outside the City
- choose green forms of energy when selecting your energy
provider
- support small and medium sized businesses in the City and City
fringes by buying locally, and talk to the business manager about
your commitment to a low-carbon lifestyle
- provide natural habitats for animals and plant species on your
balcony or in your garden
