How to add up your tonne

Fold out the inside of the back cover and you'll find a tally sheet. As you go through the guide, circle the letters beside the new actions you are ready to take. Track them on the tally sheet, add them up, and you have your plan! Remember, count only the new actions you plan to take.

Reduce your driving by 10% if you drive about 20,000 kilometres a year.

=

500 kg (0.5 tonne) or more: 1–2 actions

Unplug that second refrigerator or freezer.

=

100–499 kg: about 4–5 actions

Select your dishwasher's no-heat or air-drying cycle.

Whatever the actions - they add up!
