Change how you live
There are lots of ways that we can all work towards a One Planet Lifestyle. Find out what you can do when:
Shopping for Groceries
Our food consumption makes up 26% of our total footprint. This is the area of our footprint that we have most control of reducing – just by looking at the label and making more informed choices when out shopping. Buy local produce, as by eating more local, organic foods and reducing the amount of meat in our diet we can reduce our footprint.
Getting Around
Our transport use makes up 17% of Scotland's footprint and emissions from getting around are now the fastest growing contributor to climate change. From walking more to buying an energy-efficient car, there are many ways we can cut down our own transport footprint without losing quality of life.
At Home
Household energy consumption makes up 26% of our footprint – but there are plenty of things we can all do at home to cut down our energy use – not only reducing carbon dioxide emissions and combating climate change – but saving us money too!
