Stacy & Craig like to do it at home
They...
- insulate their house for heating and cooling
- use natural light
- collect water from the rooftop
- make the switch to accredited GreenPower electricity
- share stuff with neighbours and family
- sun dry clothes and undies
Energy use in homes creates around 20% of Australia's total annual greenhouse gas pollution.

Trina likes to do it anywhere"I am working hard at doing it - recycling food scraps and packaging, saving and collecting water, buying green power, growing organic food and lessening my energy use.
