Replace regular light bulb with compact florescent bulb.

Uses much less power and so less greenhouse gas produced?

The bulbs are more expensive than regular ones, the light is different.

Yes. The bulbs last much longer so are worth the extra money. You get used to the light and its good for the environment.

Council could organise advertising campaign to tell people how much longer bulbs last.

Eat less meat Cow’s and other animals produce methane a greenhouse gas. Also clear trees for grazing.

Fewer cows, some farmers may lose jobs.

No. My parents decide what we eat and we have meat every night.

Buy my parents a vege cook book or show them some vegetarian recipes. Try one or two nights a week.
