I’ve been working at reducing my CO2 output for a while and thought I’d share my experiences with folks. Hopefully it’s also a chance to link-up with others going through the same process.
Whilst I get my thoughts in order regarding progress so far, you (might) want to take a look at my rambling webpage at www.johnkazer.com
Quick summary of stuff done so far:
- Switch to green elec supplier – Good Energy
- Make sure house insulation and windows are OK (but not fantastic)
- Get a small diesel car (Ford Fiesta TDCi)
- Start buying 50% biodiesel from local supplier (made from waste oil and local rape)
- Off-set flights and driving
- Turn-off stuff at home/work
- Help work sign-up to ISO 14001
- Use energy saving bulbs
- Considered buying mini wind turbine for the house but rejected on cost/usefulness grounds
- Installed an Electrisave electricity monitoring gadget – it displays your current usage in CO2, cost or kWhrs
More details to come…
