Averages provide only part of the picture because households can vary greatly in the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Try it!Īustralian households generate at least one-fifth of Australia's greenhouse gases – more that 18 tonnes per household each year. You are able to use the Australian Greenhouse Calculator to see what savings could be made by your family if such changes were made. A useful guide is the four Rs – refuse, reduce, re-use and recycle. Buying secondhand is very popular, makes good financial sense and gives products a second life. We can also save money and energy choosing carefully what we buy, for example, heavily packaged products require more energy to manufacture and transport.
Most families, however, can lower their greenhouse gas emissions and save money by reducing their energy bills. Australian households generate a lot of greenhouse gases – mainly from transport, heating and cooling, appliances and wastes (in landfill).
