I read yesterday that the average Australian household generates 14 tonnes of greenhouse gas per year. This breaks down as follows:
34% on travel, 16% on water heating, 15% on electronic appliances (TV etc), 11% on major appliances (Fridge etc), 11% on heating & cooling, 5% on wastes, 5% on lighting and 3% on cooking. What can we do to reduce our GHG emissions? Buy a smaller car? Install a solar HWS? Install grid solar power?
