  1. Carbon footprint

  2. What is carbon footprint: • Carbon footprint is a representation of the effect human activities have on the climate in terms of the total amount of greenhouse gases produced (measured in units of carbon dioxide). Your carbon footprint is the direct effect your actions and lifestyle have on the environment in terms of carbon dioxide emissions.

  3. What can we do to reduce carbon footprint: • Turn it off • Turn off lights, televisions, videos, stereos and computers when not in use - they can use 10 to 40% of the power when on standby. Also, unplug chargers as soon as they have finished charging. • Be exact • Fill the kettle with only as much water as you need. • Close it • Don't leave fridge doors open for longer than necessary.

  4. Fan up • Instead of using air conditioners in the summer, wear cool clothes, and use a fan. • Optimize your speed • You will consume up to 25% less fuel if you drive no more than 90 km/hr. • Drive hybrid • A hybrid or other fuel-efficient car emits less carbon dioxide.  1500 × 861 - samsung.com.au

  5. Watch what you eat • Choose food produced close to your home. • Recycle • Consume less, and re-use old products. • Replace them • Replace your incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL). CFLs cost 3 to 5 times as much but use less than a third of the power. Also, replace old fridge and other appliances with energy-efficient ones.

  6. Check your tires • Properly inflated tires can improve your car’s fuel efficiency. • Use no plastic • Use cloth bags when going shopping and avoid buying products which use too much plastic Drive less • Do your weekly errands in a single trip or pay your bills online. Walk, bike, ride the bus or carpool.
