House

A large part of the CO₂ we produce comes from domestic energy use.
Manufacturing and building sectors are also huge producers. All new products, even energy saving technology have the hidden impact of CO₂ produced during manufacture and distribution.
To avoid this we have to think first about lifestyle changes we are willing to make using a little technology where necessary to make this endurable.
Even small, well considered lifestyle changes can make big reductions to our carbon footprint, perhaps even 90%.
