Community Emissions

Me pēhea te whakaiti i ngā tukunga? | How can we reduce emissions?

We don’t need to change our whole lives to look after the planet, but we do need to change. Small, collective changes can trigger significant societal shifts and build new norms.

Once you delve deeper into this, you’ll quickly see that reducing your carbon footprint can also reduce your costs.

These positive changes don’t need to be big! They can look like:

  • Taking shorter showers
  • Having one meat and dairy free day a week
  • Changing your lightbulbs to LED at home
  • Buying second-hand electronic goods
  • Planting a native tree in your garden
  • Ditching fast fashion and shopping second-hand
