UK citizens are doing a variety of things to reduce their carbon emissions ranging from using public transport rather than the car, to turning off the television rather than keeping it on standby.

Some of the things people do include:

• washing clothes at 30°C
• using energy saving light bulbs
• installing loft and other home insulation
• buying locally-produced food
• recycling paper, bottles, tins and newspapers
• installing solar panels

The Climate Group has recently started a campaign called We're in it Together, which aims to help shoppers reduce their carbon dioxide emissions.
