For more good ideas about what you can do and how to get involved with the campaign, check out the list below as well as our resources page.
The easiest way reduce your carbon footprint while also saving money…install a Solar Water Heater asap. By installing a Solar Water Heater you can reduce your carbon emissions by up to 3.6 tons per year… Put another way…that’s the same as removing a small car from the road…or planting 70 trees…. makes you think, does’nt it? www.setsa.co.za
Only use mains electricity when absolutely necessary. Think about how solar power can make a difference in your life.
Meet the “Fuse” solar charger which will power up all your hand held devices and can be easily attached to just about anything. Portable power for when you need it. www.dcpowerhousesa.blogspot.com
Please Ensure that bottled water is not present at any Local Authority function/meeting/seminar etc. Also to use whatever influence Cape Town may have at the COP17 meeting later in the month to resrict distribution of bottled water.
All buldings should include water saving measures (dual-flush toilets, rain water harvesting as well as a grey water intallation). Solar panels is another modality that can be added. What one finds strange is that buildings, in particular residential are not well insulated. If they are,then the need to heat up is not so important as the tempreature remains fairly constant. We also reduce our carbon footprint substantially in this way.
