So What Is Sustainable Living?

On average, each household in the UK is responsible for around six tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year - enough to fill six hot air balloons 10 meters in diameter.

U.K homes are responsible for 50% of Carbon Dioxide emissions.

£5 billion worth of energy is wasted annually in the UK.

From our research of sustainable living , we found that astonishing facts like these have made people want to live in a more environmentally-friendly manner. They use recycled materials to build their homes and live in a natural habitat. They use the most energy-efficient methods to do things. From living like they do ,they prevent six tons of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere every year. At first that may seem a tiny proportion compared to the enormous amounts of carbon dioxide emissions , but if everybody attempted to go greener , then the figures of carbon emissions would fall by millions of tons a year.
