2. Switch to a Renewable Energy Supplier/Tariff and make your homes more energy efficient*
3. Eat less meat and dairy, and adopt a plant based diet.
4. More Active and Green Travel. Walk, cycle and use public transport where possible
5. More pre-loved local and low carbon products
6. Speak out. Talk to your local MP about the need for urgent climate action and, when the time comes, consider environmental policy as a key factor in your voting decisions.
