5. Buying Energy-Efficient Products
When you come to buy a new car, choose one that offers good mileage. Kitchen appliances now also come in a range of energy efficient models. CFLs are designed to provide more natural looking light while using far less energy as that of an incandescent light bulb. Try to avoid products that have excess packaging, especially moulded plastic and other packaging that is not recyclable. If you reduce your household waste by 10% you can save up to half a ton of CO2 going into the atmosphere.
