The Oxford Citizens' Climate Change Pledge
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
