What can 1 million children do?
Our target is for 1 million children to participate in Low Carbon Day.
If 1 million children
-
watched 15 minutes less TV a day, it would save 8,000 tonnes of CO2 per year;
-
turned the TV off instead of leaving it on standby, it would save around 10,000 tonnes of CO2 per year;
-
cut the usage of a couple of 40W bulbs by an hour a day, it would save 12,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
If 1 million children did all of these things for a year it would save 30,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
And if 1 million families cut the use of their car by a mile a day it would save a further 100,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
