PRINT YOUR WAY TO A BETTER WORLD

For many people, the concept of ‘going green’ has more to do with seasickness or with the leftovers in the fridge overstaying their welcome than it does with the environment.In reality though, the environment really matters.
Global warming and its effects are increasingly making headlines. And although experts differ in their predictions of the scale and scope of climate change, they agree that the earth is warming and that we need to do something about it. .
Global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal for electricity and transportation etc, which produce greenhouse gases. A carbon footprint is the measure of all the greenhouse gases that we produce in our daily lives and is measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), commonly referred to as carbon emissions. Global carbon emissions increased by 28 per cent between 1990 and 2004.
In Australia, each person is said to emit more than five tonnes of carbon per year. An average motorcar emits over four tonnes of C02 each year.About seven tonnes of greenhouse gases are produced annually by the average Aussie household just through the use of domestic electricity.
There are many ways of reducing our carbon footprint, and it is incumbent on each of us to make an effort.Essentially, we have two footprints, namely our primary one in terms of our own way of life and our secondary footprint which we contribute to through our buying choices.We can make green choices.
There are companies taking the lead through positive environmental actions.
