The Australian Conservation Foundation has developed an online Consumption Atlas to document Australians consumption impacts on the environment.
If that isn't enough, there are even helpful tips for helping the environment, like:
- One of the easiest ways to lighten your environmental impact is to simply buy less.
- An Australia Institute study found that we waste $10.5 billion a year on things that we rarely or never use.
- You can save money and the environment by only purchasing the products you need.
- Consumption and environmental impacts are rising steadily with household incomes.
- Goods have a high environmental impact because they require materials to produce and are often manufactured using energy intensive processes. Services have much lower impacts.
I always knew John's frequent pedicures were his way of helping the environment.
