We all depend on the world around us. If we don’t do something about it today, our children won’t enjoy the same quality of life in the future.
Ten steps to a greener Scotland:
-
Recycle household waste using locally-provided facilities

Turn the tap off when brushing your teeth
-
Switch to using energy-saving light bulbs
-
Leave the car at home at least once a week and walk, cycle share a car or use public transport more often
-
Use rechargeable instead of disposable batteries
-
Reuse carrier bags when you shop
-
Buy more seasonal and unpackaged food
-
Hang your washing up to dry rather than use a tumble dryer
-
Organise or volunteer in an environmental project in your local community
-
Pay back the environmental impact of any flights you take and choose not to fly when there's a suitable alternative
