"We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children" ~ Native American Proverb
The environment is constantly under threat from human endeavours, as responsible citizens we need to do our part to protect the environment for future generations. That's why at Brighton Pharmacy we only use biodegradable plastic bags and non-bleached paper bags. We also have copies of We Are The Weather Makers(book) by Tim Flannery and an inconvenient truth(dvd) available for borrowing free of charge. Saving the planet can begin at home. Here are nine tips to combat global warming from Tim Flannery: - Switch to Green Power if your electricity provider gives the option
- Install energy efficient hot water system and whitegoods
- Use a triple-A rated shower-head and take shorter showers
- Use energy efficient light globes and turn off appliances at the wall when not in use
- Check the fuel efficiency of your next car and service your car regularly
- Walk, cycle or take public transport
- Insulate your home and save on heating and cooling costs
- Install solar panels
- Write to a politician about global warming and help change the world
