With Australia’s air quality becoming more and more hazardous, now is the best time to be looking at alternative ways to reduce your carbon emissions. Energis has put together 5 super simple ways to reduce carbon emissions and be a serious part of the solution.
-
Get planting
Lower your overall greenhouse gas emissions by simply getting your hands dirty and planting/growing plants and trees. As plants use CO2 to grow, this acts as an atmosphere cleaner and creates a more sustainably healthy environment!
-
The 3 R’s
We all know the simplest way to reduce our emissions is to abide by the 3 R’s – Reduce, reuse and recycle. Products such as plastic bags, cups and straws have a huge impact on carbon emissions as they use significant amounts of electricity in their production (and in landfills). By using reusable products, recycling, composting or simply reducing the amount of waste you create, you can lower your emissions. With fantastic initiatives such as the plastic bag ban and the phasing out of plastic straws, there has never been a better time to take an environmental initiative.
-
Carpooling
Another simple way to reduce your emissions is to avoid driving or carpool with friends, family or colleagues. Transport and its associated fuel usage is a huge contributor when it comes to emissions. Instead of taking the easy option and driving, consider carpooling or better yet, walking or cycling when travelling shorter distances.
-
Energy-efficient products
It’s time to start taking energy ratings seriously. By taking into consideration the energy consumption of your products, you may not only significantly reduce your electricity bills but also reduce your carbon footprint. You can do this by opting for products with higher energy ratings, switching to LED lighting as well as by generally monitoring your own electricity usage.

Go Solar
Solar power generates electricity using sunlight! It reduces your overall dependence on grid electricity and dramatically reduces CO2 emissions. For example, GT & JA Jones Engineering (a previous client of Energis) had a 32.50 kW solar system installed, and it is expected to reduce 1,239 tonnes of CO2 over its lifetime, which is the equivalent of planting 4,954 trees! See the full case study here! So, take the environmental pledge with Energis. Call us and speak to one of our lovely sales consultants today!
