How to reduce your carbon footprint by 80% | Matthew Tolley | TEDxTelford

Governments worldwide have committed to a target of reducing Carbon emissions by 80% by 2050. European countries are aiming to go further and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. But the actions governments are collectively taking don’t look like they will be enough to meet their own targets. Matthew Tolley’s talk shows how you can, with your individual choices, have the power to reduce your carbon footprint from around 12 tonnes per year to 2.5 tonnes per year, with little or no lifestyle compromises, and without waiting for governments or businesses to take action. All the steps are simple, actionable and nearly all of them will save money too. Matthew is a qualified Energy Efficiency Assessor for domestic and non-domestic (commercial) buildings.
