- Climate change affects every one of us. Unite and be part of the solution.
- As you leave the house, don't forget to switch off all the lights and appliances and unplug chargers as they continue to consume even if they are not charging; saving energy helps reduce air pollution.
- Don't go anywhere without your cloth bag so you can just say no to plastic whenever you shop.
- Plant a tree! Help achieve UNEP's Billion Tree Campaign target of planting seven billion trees - one for every person on the planet - by the end of this year.
- Install showerheads with a low flow in your bathrooms to help save water. Using an electric razor or hand razor with replaceable blades instead of disposable razors goes a long way to cutting back on waste.
- Use towels for drying your face and hands instead of tissues that are used and thrown away. Also, hang your towels to dry so that they can be reused several times.
- Juice or yoghurt lovers can do their bit by buying juice in concentrates and yoghurt in reusable containers instead of single serving packages.
- When packing your lunch, opt for reusable containers for food storage instead of wrapping the food with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.For those who suffer from road rage, remember that aggressive driving lowers your mileage, so if you want to save on fuel and save the planet while you're at it, accelerate gradually - something to keep in mind the next time that bad driver cuts you off!
- Leave a cup and reusable bottle for water at work to eliminate buying drinks, which get served in plastic cups or bottled water. Eighty per cent of plastic bottles are recyclable but only 20 per cent are actually recycled.
- When you need a pad for lists and messages, turn over an old document and write on the back of that instead.
- Most computer accessories like ink cartridges, CDs and DVDs are made of materials that could be reused. Computer cords and speakers are fairly standardized, meaning they can be used for a variety of computer models and makes.
- Lower your office's carbon footprint by setting computers, monitors, printers, copiers, speakers and other business equipment to their energy saving feature and turning them off at the end of the day.
- If you're in search of something to personalize your workspace, look no further than the humble houseplant. Houseplants are good for the environment because they remove quantities of pollutants present in the air.
- Teleconference instead of flying. Reduce your energy use, turn computers and lights off. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs. Inflate your tires. The car will get better gas mileage when the tires are fully inflated, so it will burn less fuel and emit less carbon.
