Sutherland Climate Action Network helps raise awareness about climate change and promotes strong action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across Sutherland Shire, New South Wales, Australia and the world.

Climate change is the biggest issue facing humanity. But what can one person do?

How about this for starters: Switch to green electricity – compare prices and benefits at Green Electricity Watch. And be sure choose a retailer committed to no new coal-fired power. Did you know? You can get 10% GreenPower at no extra cost from four different suppliers. 100% GreenPower is available from just $4.40 extra per week. Leave the car at home – take public transport, carpool, walk or ride a bike instead. Lobby governments to reduce use of fossil fuels and invest in renewable energy. Write a letter a month with the Citizens’ Climate Campaign. Buy only appliances with good energy ratings. Buy low energy light bulbs – yes, even for downlights! Turn lights off whenever not in use. Install ceiling insulation and replace your old electric water heater with solar hot water. You can get a $1000 Federal government rebate. The NSW government also offers big rebates for solar hot water, insulation and rainwater tanks. Use fans and fresh air instead of air conditioning – dress warmly in winter. Reduce or offset your air travel. Buy recycled or plantation timber products only – not rainforest or old-growth timber. Join us!
