Aucklanders must reduce their carbon footprint  for our city to meet its emission targets. This means we all need to act now.

We must change how each of us lives and the choices we all make, including:

• how we travel
• the energy we use
• what we buy
• the waste we create
• how we eat.

Rethinking our lifestyles now by using low carbon services, infrastructure and products that are already available will help us transition to low carbon lifestyles. Find out what you can do.
