Our role in reducing emissions
Scientists insist that we need to reduce global emissions by between 45-50% this decade to limit warming to 1.5 degrees. Did you know that at least 70% of all emissions stem from the consumption decisions of individuals? From household energy, transport and food to purchased goods and services, holidaying and waste – it’s critical that we each contribute to the solutions we seek. We are able to achieve the required target in time, we just need to want to do it enough
