US, YOU & PLANET
EARTH
"Is it just us, or is it getting
warm in here?"
No, it’s definitely getting warmer.
It’s not hype. It’s not scare-mongering. Global warming
is a reality and as a responsible company Craghoppers is committed
to being a carbon neutral organisation. But we all have an
individual responsibility too. But it's worth it. So here's a short
list of things we can ALL commit to doing. Go on tick them
off.
LEAVE THE CAR IN THE GARAGE
Every mile you drive emits at least
around half a kilo of CO2. So whenever possible walk, cycle,
car-share or use public transport.
FIT ENERGY SAVING
BULBS
Do it today. Just one energy saving
bulb will save over 60 kilos of CO2 a year. And if you
replace
ALL your bulbs then....well, you do the
maths.
GET RECYCLING
Get on board with your local
roadside collections or get your stuff to your nearest recycling
amenities. By recycling half of your household rubbish you’ll
save weight over 1 tonne of CO2.
COOLER WASHES
Forget those 60 - 90 degree wash
cycles. Turn it down to 30 - 40 degrees and you could save 200
kilos of CO2 a year.
TURN YOUR THERMOSTAT
DOWN
Just a few degrees. You’ll
hardly feel the difference. But planet earth will. To the tune of
nearly 1 tonne of saved CO2 a year.
TURN OFF THOSE STANDBY
BUTTONS
You’ll quite simply save
tonnes of unnecessary CO2 every year if you completely switch off
the TV, video, DVD and computer (completely, that is - no little
red standby lights) and unplug your mobile phone chargers when your
phone’s not connected!
