General tips on sustainable living
A wide range of organisations provide tips of how to reduce our carbon emissions. Getting the balance right is difficult here - between self righteous, low carbon 'addicts' and people who believe that just by recyling they are ‘doing their bit’ to be green. We all need to join the low carbon journey – and people need to understand more clearly the radical changes that most of us need to make, without feeling overwhelmed.
Several organisations have established virtual communities online where people share challenges and tips.
