I recognise that:

Climate change is happening now
Climate change will have far reaching effects on our economy, society and environment
I have a part to play in reducing the overall impact on the environment

Within the next year I will act on some or all of the following (with the help of the “Oxford is my world” – Your Guide to Saving the Planet!) :

Switch off appliances at the mains and lights when not in use.
Replace as many of my light bulbs as possible with low energy ones.
Implement insulation measures in my home – such as insulating my hot water tank, topping up my loft insulation, having cavity wall insulation, and installing reflective backings on my radiators
Use energy more efficiently in the home (e.g. turn my thermostat down by 1°C; wash at lower temperatures; dry clothes outdoors when possible; use lids on saucepans, shower instead of bath or power shower).
Switch to A rated appliances/more efficient models when purchasing a new appliance.
Switch to a green electricity tariff
Reduce, reuse, and recycle waste and water more (e.g. use the recycling scheme, install a water saver in my toilet).
Use the car less – walk and cycle more. Take the train not the plane. Fly less. When you replace your car choose a bicycle or a small diesel. When you have to drive, drive with care for the environment.
Consider how climate change is going to impact on me.
Assess my personal/household carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and set my own personal/household greenhouse gas reduction target
