    Pledge to cut your carbon footprint

    Will you pledge to cut your carbon footprint?

    Climate change is the biggest environmental, social and economic challenge faced by our global community. Climate change can be overwhelming, and global solutions are required, but many small actions do add up.

    Did you know that 99.4% of Glen Eira’s carbon emissions come from the community?

    In 2019–2020, Council's carbon footprint (carbon emissions as a result of Council operations) was 8,400 tonnes of carbon. In 2018–2019, the Glen Eira community's carbon footprint was 1,389,400 tonnes. Here is a breakdown of where your emissions come from.

    Don’t forget to tell us more about your pledges. Tag us on Instagram using the hashtag #GlenEiraClimatePledge or on Facebook via Sustainable living in Glen Eira. You can also email us at sustainability@gleneira.vic.gov.au
