Biggest home impacts

By Danny Harrington, MD ITS Education Asia

I liked this newsletter from Ryan Hagen who writes regularly on LinkedIn. He points out some interesting stats – like 42% of US emissions are determined by domestic decision-making. Goes to show that while we need governments to push regulation and policy, and even better we need corporates to take the initiative, we can actually have a huge impact through personal agency.

He then lays out really nicely and clearly that we need to be better at:

• How we cook
• How we heat/cool the home
• How we heat water
• Transport
• Electricity supply.

If we can nail these as a society then we can maybe drag government and corporates with us.
