Week two of the Aussies Living Simply Cutting Your Carbons Challenge has begun! This week the challenges are to reduce your transport emissions by 10% and reduce your energy consumption by 10%.
They are both going to be a big challenge for me, since a) I have an out-of-the-ordinary trip to the central coast tomorrow (2 hour round trip), and two birthday parties this weekend (1 hour round trips x 2) which will *really* blow out my kilometres travelled, and b) it's cold and wet!!! Brrr, heating is going to a huge energy issue, and not using the clothes dryer an even bigger one (I have thick denim jeans still hanging around damp from being washed days ago :-( ). Anyway, I've read my electricity and gas meters and have set the trip meter in the car, so we'll see how I go!
My energy goal is to reduce our energy consumption by 2 KwH this week and gas by 41 MJ. Transport is reduce my total kilometres driven by 8 kilometres.
