Fossil fuels such as coal are damaging our planet. Yet, about 73% of South Africa’s energy needs are derived from coal.
BIG FACT #1Organisations and people in South African cities use 54% of the country’s electricity. That means cities are responsible for over half of our carbon emissions from electricity.
Big fact #2South Africa has one of the highest solar resources worldwide, yet we’ve committed to only 9% of renewable energy supply by 2030.
BIG FACT #3Our planet is getting hotter, the climate is changing faster, and we are the cause. We can either watch it melt or act to save ourselves from melting away. Reducing our carbon footprints is the safest, perhaps only, option. Are you in?
Are you carbon-smart or carbon-stuck? Don’t be trapped in your old ways.
Take the first step, track your footprint and find out if your everyday choices are leading you towards a healthy climate…or not.
It’s coal everywhere! We use coal-based energy in our homes, businesses and industries, as well as in manufacturing and even in our vehicles.
But coal is responsible for much of the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. Put the puzzle pieces together and find out how you can lower your own carbon footprint at home.
Don’t sweat your energy on the small stuff. Being carbon-smart is the way to go if we want to save ourselves from climate change.
