Dear Lindaxe, there are loads of things we can do to reduce emissions. You can read a lot about this on our website, but to sum it:
- we can put pressure on our politicians to pass climate-friendly legislation
- use public transportation or bikes
- consume less meat more veggies
- recycle our waste and reduce the use of plastics... Læs mere
- insulate our homes, buy energy-efficient appliances
The list is nearly endless. Here is a link to our Take Action Section with more ideas:

Agriculture (cattle farming) is one of the biggest sources of methan, a greenhouse gas that is way stronger than CO2. Here is an article about the details: http://knowledge.allianz.com/en/globalissues/climate_change/global_warming_basics/methane_livestock_global_warming.html

Hey Ro,
Its complicated but to sum it up:
1. Australia has a high carbon footprint and relies heavily on the export of carbon-intensive resources like coal. Two things that will have to change in a low carbon world.
2. Australia already suffers from drought and depeleted water resources, which is a heavy burden for agriculture. This also increases the risk of wildfires.
Hope that helps,... Læs mere
