Scotland. Let's Do Net Zero.
The energy we use to heat our homes and the emissions from our cars are the biggest contributions individuals in Scotland make to climate change. What we buy and waste also has a big impact on the planet. Making changes in these areas will not only help Scotland reach net zero, but will make you feel good too.
SCOTLAND'S CLIMATE WEEK
Climate Week is 25th September to 1st October. It’s a time when the whole country can come together to show support for tackling the climate emergency. Not to mention a great opportunity to share success stories which can inspire others to take action.
DO NET ZERO AND FEEL GOOD
Scotland is committed to reaching net zero by 2045 and we're making progress, but to get to net zero it'll take all of us doing all we can to reduce emissions. Driving less, improving your heating and reducing what you buy and waste are the actions that will have the most impact and they can help you feel good too.
Ways you can travel less by car
