Carbon Footprint Personal Matters
The proposed group would help us avoid the frustrations we can have when we try to reduce the carbon emissions that we are personally responsible for. This includes evaluating the options, managing the required changes and adjusting to the new technology that we may have adopted.
Examples are a home insulation project, a heat pump installation, Solar panels, a battery electric vehicle, and a home energy storage.
As our government embarks on a very fast process of decarbonisation, much information is being made available, as well as significant support including financial.
So this group would need core members who have taken some steps and could share their journey to help others.
It could be a series of sessions where others who have personal examples that they would like to share could present on. The idea would be to learn how individuals were able to take charge and change something significant, while avoiding drastic or painful lifestyle changes.
And potentially the sessions could allow some time for a surgery style Q&A.
