    Completion requirements

    In this activity you will consider different actions you can take to reduce greenhouse emissions. Try to identify what you can do differently in your everyday life that could help reduce your contribution to climate change.

    You can also identify the areas that you make the most impact by calculating your personal carbon footprint (e.g. www.futurefit.nz)

    Try and find an area that you are able to change and create an achievable goal. 

    Then consider how your changes can make a difference to an animal or their habitat.
