This week, for Cut Your Carbon, we are focussing on "Device Free" and "Drop It Like It's Hot!".
Have a device free day - this is a tricky one for many of us! However, electricity makes up about 25% of your home’s carbon footprint so not using your devices for a day can make a big difference to the environment as well as saving you money.
To complete this action, simply power down non-essential devices for one day — no gaming, no streaming — and rediscover the joy of offline fun! Go for a walk in the woods, play some table top games, have a kick about in the park, go for a bike ride... The possibilities are endless.
Drop your heating by 1°C for a week. Heating is the top source of home carbon emissions in the UK. Turn it down by just 1°C for a week, layer up, and show your love for our planet. This is a great excuse to wear your cosiest jumper and cuddle under a big blanket!
The Cut Your Carbon Checklist is now available on Purple Mash for children in years 1-6 to complete.
