What a waste!
The largest proportion of the waste thrown out by WA households is made up of green waste - garden and food waste. By reusing/recycling green waste alone, most WA families could cut their contribution to landfill by more than half.
- Waste Wise WA
1. Walking, riding a bike or using public transport will reduce emissions from the family car.
2. Try the bus, train or ferry for some of your work or shopping trips or to get to sporting events, concerts or other attractions.
3. Carpool whenever you can to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from cars.
4. You can avoid some trips altogether by using phone, fax or modem.
5. Maintaining correct tyre pressure can reduce your fuel consumption by up to 3 per cent as well as reducing tyre wear.
6. When it's time to buy a new car, consider changing to one with a smaller engine that uses less fuel. Better yet, consider a hybrid.
7. The more weight you're carrying in your car, the higher your fuel consumption. Try to pare down the excess kilos in the boot.
8. Take advantage of the LPG subsidy scheme to convert your car to fuel that produces less greenhouse gas emissions.

The State Government is almost doubling the length of Perth’s rail system - taking around 25,000 cars off our roads every day. Of course, public transport is only one way to leave the car at home. Cycling has also been getting easier, with over 360 kilometres of new cycleways around WA. To learn more, act now and click on the links below. |
