Conflicts of undeclared interests....surely not!

Like a breathe of fresh air to hear that we have all that we need to sort things out, IF we can keep the plonkers from getting in the way!

if you don't feel inclined to watch it or you are pressed for time, the main points are ..........

Hannah: Yeah, I think just some of the big ones are:

1. What you choose to eat. The biggest way to cut your carbon footprint is to eat less meat and dairy, especially beef, which has the largest impact.

2. The next is about driving. If you own a car, that’s going to be by far your biggest carbon impact. So they are either driving less or shifting to an electric vehicle makes a big difference.

3. For most people, flying is going to be a big one.

4. The next big one is going to be heating your home. There is stuff like insulation, heat pumps, et cetera.

5. And then the other big one, which is for many people is not practical, but for people that own a house or can renovate is their electricity source. So installing solar panels, for example. I rent a flat, so it’s just not feasible for most people. But for those that can, then that’s also the big one.
